Buel offers readers a grand tour of the United States' striking landscapes and architectural feats, sketched in a narrative voice that sweeps you back to the era of its original publication. The book can be regarded as both a vivid literary painting and a historical document, weaving descriptive prose with the educational tone of the period.
