Stephanie C. Palmer reassesses the cultural work of local color literature written during the postbellum and Gilded Age in the United States. To do so, Palmer traces the meaning of the regional travel accident motif through local color texts by Sarah Orne Jewett, Bret Harte, William Dean Howells, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, and others.
