Through his affiliation with the New York Herald, the young
English-born writer Kinahan Cornwallis (1839 1917), was afforded
the opportunity to witness the nineteen-year-old Prince of Wales's
1860 highly successful tour of Canada and America more closely than
any other individual outside the royal party. He chronicled his
observations and depicted the progress of the first visit of a
member of the British royal family to the Americas, and the
resulting book was quickly published in New York. Cornwallis wrote
that his great aim in recounting the travels of His Royal Highness
was to provide the most accurate account of the tour, a task for
which he considered himself uniquely qualified. He expected his
volume to be received with equal enthusiasm, and the events to be
accorded equal historical significance, in both England and
America, perhaps even strengthening the deeply rooted bonds between
the people of both nations.
