The text captures the experiences of two travelers from Europe, exploring various parts of Canada and the United States during their journey in the autumn of 1858. The book aims to provide insights and personal impressions of the landscapes, cities, and people encountered, emphasizing the differences between American and European perspectives. At the start of the narrative, the travelers arrive in New York after a rough sea voyage, detailing their initial experiences and observations about the city. The author recounts the bustling environment, notable events such as the burning of quarantine buildings, and the celebrations surrounding the laying of the transatlantic cable. Early impressions also include reflections on the American transportation system and the local populace's attitudes, setting the stage for a broader exploration of various American locales in subsequent letters. The journal maintains a personal touch, as the mother writes to her daughter, incorporating family dynamics into the travel narrative.
