About this book
Edward Money writes for English readers who want a closer view of American daily life, especially those considering emigration. Drawing on notes from a stay of less than five months, he mixes practical warnings about agents with judgments on manners, hotels, rail travel and the press. His comparisons with England reveal a visitor who notices small exchanges as closely as broad differences between the two countries.
The search for a ranch gives these observations a concrete purpose. Along the California coast, Money and his son inspect dry countryside, ride to a property near San Obespo and weigh its vegetation, water supply and asking price. An uncomfortable saddle becomes as memorable as the land itself. Read today, this travel account offers a distinctly personal record of expectations meeting local conditions, with its sharp opinions left plainly on the page.
