Travel writing was the most popular genre in the nineteenth century. These works allowed readers to join in on fabulous adventures by becoming armchair tourists—second-hand voyeurs of the peoples and places visited. This book is organized geographically, with essays examining local journeys in the Northeast, Midwest, Far West, and the South.
