Description

The evidence of Canada’s popularity as a tourist resort for Americans can be traced back to the many published accounts of American travel in Canada. This anthology is an attempt to convey something of the nature and extent of this Nineteenth-century American interest in Canada and an impression of the shape and substance of American imaginative responses to Canada in an era of rapid political, social and cultural development.
