About This Book
A spirited young woman recounts her visit to America, moving through urban and rural settings as she encounters social pleasures and complications. She navigates New York society, shopping, park life, military cadets at West Point, sky-scrapers, Newport leisure, fashionable teas, an unexpected wedding mishap and a romantic turning point. Train travel to Chicago and a subsequent stay on a valley farm contrast city spectacle with country routines, including market shops, dairy concerns, and local characters. Through light comic observation she chronicles courtships, proposals, engagements and decisions that reshape her plans and relationships.
