An entertaining, classic travelogue of a foreigner's sojourn in Cincinnati, then a frontier town, by the mother of Anthony (The Way We Live Now). Published upon her return to England, the book was a wild success in the 1830s. It's still a juicy, flavorful portrait of colonial America. The book also secured Ms. Trollope's fortune (after considerable hardship on this side of the Atlantic) and launched a literary dynasty.  (USM76, $16.00)
