Explores the beginnings of urban tourism, and sets the phenomenon within a larger cultural transformation that encompassed fundamental changes in urban life and national identity. Focusing on New York and San Francisco, this work describes what it was like to ride on Pullman cars, stay in the grand hotels, and take in the sights of the cities.
