Book Description
Diary in America, Series Two by Captain Marryat is a travelog about an English captain's travels throughout the United States. Excerpt: "I believe that the remarks of a traveler in any country not his own, let his work be ever so trifling or badly written, will point out some peculiarity which will have escaped the notice of those who were born and reside in that country, unless they happen to be natives of that portion of it in which the circumstance alluded to was observed. It is a fact that no one knows his own country; from assuetude and, perhaps, from the feelings of regard which we naturally have for our native land, we pass over what nevertheless does not escape the eye of a foreigner. Indeed, from the consciousness that we can always see such and such objects of interest whenever we please, we very often procrastinate until we never see them at all."

Book Description
In 'Diary in America, Series One', prolific novelist, Frederick Marryat, shares his observations and experiences during his travels in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. In his preface, Marryat stated that he was struck by the contradictory and often shallow portrayals of America in other travelogs and set out to provide a more nuanced and insightful analysis. He notes that the United States is not a homogenous nation, but rather a collection of diverse populations with distinct cultural, social, and political characteristics. His book provides a compelling and thoughtful account of America during a time of transition and rapid change, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the United States.
