Description of a trip by the famous British novelist Charles Dickens to the U.S. in the early 1840s, which included travel through the Great Lakes states. The first and last portions of the book are accounts of his travel in the east. There are also chapters on slavery and his voyage back to England. Chapter headings for the portion on western travel are:

-From Pittsburg to Cincinnati in a western steam-boat. Cincinnati.
-From Cincinnati to Louisville in another western steam-boat; and from Louisville to St. Louis in another. St. Louis.
-A Jaunt to the Looking-glass prairie and back.
-Return to Cincinnati. A stage-coach ride from that city to Columbus, and thence to Sandusky. So, by Lake Erie, to the Falls of Niagara.
