Features: From early January to late June 1842, Dickens traveled to the United States with his wife and several friends for a six-month visit. The places he visited included both international metropolises like Washington, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, as well as lesser-known small towns such as Cincinnati, Hartford, Worcester, and West Point at the time. He recorded his observations and feelings during this journey in this travelogue, which serves as an invaluable reference for studying the social customs and culture of 19th-century America.
