The author traveled, in 1817, by light wagon from Richmond to
Pittsburg; and from Pittsburg to Cincinnati by horseback. This
book, interesting for economic conditions, together with
the author's "Letters from Illinois," did much to inspire
emigration to Illinois from England. His English colony, at
English Prairie, Ill., was much visited by travelers of the
period.

_Faux, W._ Journal of a tour to the United States [in 1819].

Excellent pictures of American life and agricultural methods,
by an English gentleman farmer. Attacks Birkbeck's roseate

In Vol. I. the author tells of a steamboat tour from Pittsburg
to New Orleans, in 1840.

_Dickens, Charles._ American notes. New York, 1842.

Dickens, in 1841, traveled in steamboats from Pittsburg to
St. Louis. His dyspeptic comments on life and manners in the
United States, at the time grated harshly on the ears of our
people; but afterward, they grew strong and wise enough to
smile at them. The book is to-day, like Mrs. Trollope's,
entertaining reading for an American.

_Rubio_ (pseud.). Rambles in the United States and Canada, in 1845. London, 1846.

A typical English growler, who thinks America "the most
disagreeable of all disagreeable countries;" nevertheless,
he says of the Ohio, "a finer thousand miles of river scenery
could hardly be found in the wide world."

report of economic conditions.

transportation.

_Anonymous._ A short American tramp in the fall of 1864. By the editor of "Life in Normandy." Edinburgh, 1865.

An English geologist's journal. Distorted and overdrawn, on
the travel side. He took steamer from St. Louis to Cincinnati.

_Bishop, Nathaniel H._ Four months in a sneak-box. Boston, 1879.

The author, in the winter of 1875-76, voyaged in an open boat
from Pittsburg to New Orleans, and along the Gulf coast to
Florida.
