In 1889,the Wheeler family of New York travel to England and Europe
as part of the children's education. They spend time in the English
Lake Country, London, Paris, on the Rhine. They visit churches and
cathedrals, castles and museums, lakes and chasms. In Paris, they
spend several days at the Great Exposition-the World's Fair of
1889-where they ride in an "enormous balloon" hundreds of feet over
the city. The account, found in a diary written by 14-year-old
Winifred, provides a fascinating picture of life among the
moderately wealthy of the Gilded Age.
