Comments

An engaging series of letters by Isabella Kimball Dinsmore, resident of Belfast, Maine, about her travels, mostly by train, through the American south, across to Texas, down to Mexico, back up to California and then on to Salt Lake City, with numerous stops in between (Sacramento, Grand Canyon, etc.) The letters are addressed "to the Unitarian Alliance," but have no obvious religious content, other than descriptions of cathedrals in Mexico, the Mormons of Salt Lake City, etc.
