New England Homesteads and Boston Through a Traveler’s Eyes
A European tour and New York to Newport voyage frame a traveler’s critique of rural New England homesteads perched on rocks with stone walls. The writer notes picturesque yet discouraging potato patches and questions why so many authors and philosophers emerged from the region. Boston is described as cultured yet flawed with narrow streets, dingy buildings, and poor rail service, provoking mixed admiration and satire from W. L. Straus.
