The Englishwoman in America

Book cover
By: Isabella Lucy Bird

Isabella Bird travels abroad in Canada and the United States in the 1850s. As an Englishwoman and a lone female, she travels as far as Chicago, Prince Edward Island, and Cincinatti. Her observations on the trials and tribulations of the journeys are astute, if formed by her place and time in history. Adventures with pickpockets, omnibuses, cholera, and rat invested hotels deter her not. (Sibella Denton)

Review
5of 5 stars Reviewer: alamedared - 4/25/2008 4:00
Subject: Terrific Travelogue!!
This is an amazing first hand account of travels in 19th century America and Canada. I learned so many new things−−− as if I were right there. The fear of getting cholera was fascinating to find out about as was the author's interaction with Native Canadians in their wigwams. Very well read too. Don't miss this one!
