North America: Volume II (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Anthony Trollope

Overview

A 1951 review in the New York Herald Tribune pronounced this 1862 travel memoir "superb . . .  Its effect today is that of an extraordinary newsreel of civilian life in 1861-62, vivid in its photography, literate in its running commentary, as fair as an honest, open-minded man could make it." Trollope recounts his adventures in Boston, Cambridge, Lowell, Washington, and more—along the way he learns about Congress, women’s rights, abolition, education, and religion in America.

About the Author

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a quintessential Victorian novelist best known for his series of novels, the Chronicles of Barsetshire, set in the imaginary county of Barsetshire. Tirelessly prolific, he tackled a rich assortment of the political, social, and gender issues of the day. As career employee of the British Postal System, he is credited with introducing the “pillar-box” mailboxes on street corners.
