This lecture details a trip the British speaker took to the United States and Canada in 1877 (the speaker's name is unknown). His travel companion for some of the trip was Reverend Thomas Harwood Pattison who would become the Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Hartford, Conn. The trip started in New York City after a voyage from Liverpool. He and Pattison traveled throughout New England and Canada, making stops in Boston, Providence, Poughkeepsie, Albany, Saratoga, Montreal, Toronto, and Niagara Falls. In Johnsbury, Vermont they heard a talk by Henry Ward Beecher. The trip then took them to Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and Salt Lake City; while in Kansas City, Pattison returns to England . The speaker describes in detail the Rocky Mountains and the canyons of Utah. While in Salt Lake City he attends a Mormon service and describes the Tabernacle and the Mormon people in attendance. He then crossed the Sierra Nevadas and stopped in Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco and Yosemite. On his train trip to San Francisco, he met a group of American Indians, whom he describes in detail as well as some men of "questionable character." His last stop, before returning to New York City, is at the Mammoth Caves in Kentucky. The speaker, throughout the lecture, makes comments on "Americans," the people he met along the way, the landscapes he saw, and the events he attended (church services, fairs).
