A fearless traveler crosses the Atlantic and rides rough stages, lake steamers, and prairie wagons through the raw United States—Boston parlors to frontier cabins, Niagara’s spray to Rocky Mountain snows. With sharp, curious eyes she weighs manners, politics, faith, and food, meeting strangers who prove America’s contradictions: restless, generous, harsh, and endlessly surprising.
