Charles Casey

Two Years on the Farm of Uncle Sam (Travel in America) Charles Casey

The following pages are the result of observations made during two years in the United States, viz. 1849 and 1851-2. The views given of A merica, and the passage thereto, have usually been taken from the poop-deck, and A stor House and are consequently hackneyed. A log of the voyage from tween decks has, therefore, at least novelty to recommend it, and will demonstrate that those who would improve the condition of the Emigrant during the Trans Atlantic voyage are not fastidious reformers. In the sketches of America and Americans I have chosen the bye-ways as well as the highways for observation, and have bestowed eulogy or censure in accordance with fact.
