Summary "Rambles by Land and Water; or, Notes of Travel in Cuba and Mexico" by B. M. Norman is a travelogue written in the mid-19th century. This work offers an exploration of Cuba and Mexico, detailing the author's journeys and observations as he investigates the culture, geography, and antiquities of these regions, including a canoe voyage up the River Panuco. The book provides a personal narrative interwoven with historical reflections, enriching the reader’s understanding of the areas he travels through. At the start of the narrative, the author sets sail from New Orleans to Havana, introducing himself and his fellow travelers, each with their own motivations for the journey. Norman’s depiction of the harbor of Havana reveals its stunning beauty and significance, highlighting the naval architecture and societal customs observed upon arrival. As he navigates the city, he reflects on the dynamics of Cuban society, the hospitality offered by its citizens, and the striking contrasts in social status, presenting a vivid picture of life in 19th-century Cuba. The opening portion of the book therefore establishes a rich sensory backdrop that invites readers to join the author on his explorations, and sets the tone for the historical and cultural insights to follow.
