Scottish-born journalist Alexander Mackay (1808–52) spent much of his career in North America. In 1846–7 he visited the United States again. This three-volume work, published in 1849, recounts his experiences and describes America's vibrant society and prosperous economy. Volume 3 focuses on the Great Lakes, mining and navigation.
