A French count's commentaries on America at the birth of the Civil
War. While he has obviously examined different parts of the U.S. at
length, his book is not really an account of his travels, and
speaks of the country not in specifics but in broad strokes: The
South, the West, the North. No list of places visited can be
provided.

++++ THE UPRISING OF GREAT PEOPLE MARY BOOTH
This book is personal journey that a couple made when they left the
Rural South to live in the hustle and bustle of New York City. Mary
gives us an insight into that journey in a way that recounts her
perceptions of life, as she settled and grew in the Big Apple. She
became an accomplished seamstress as she and her husband built a
successful life. She recounts her life as they rubbed elbows with
the rich and famous from the assorted cultures surrounding their
daily living. She blends her reflections on black historical events
with the history of her own life. It enables us to look through the
crystal and understand Mary's well grounded values, forged from her
southern roots, with hopes of a better future that will lift our
spirits and enable us to reflect on our own seasons past.
