American Notes Review
What a gem!!! I clicked to download this "excellent" account of "America" as it washes over one of earth's great literary men, who better to put into words our America than the man who wrote "Jungle Book" -- Rudyard Kipling as he first lands here in San Francisco in the 1800's. What a feel he gives us for how it really was -- no veneer of romance needed. The true romance of the American West gushes forth in this splendid little volume. Encountering the geysers in Yosemite and seeing massive waterfalls through bumpy and often life threatening rides via train and stage coach. I was given a box of old books for having cleaned out someones old office and these were to be discarded had I not taken them. I'm glad I did, for in the box amid other treaasures, was a faded and well worn copy of "American Notes" that has been in and through our family. Great, great, great! MJ ...~ Ps. Best read hearing a British voice in your head -- maybe even the actor Ben Kingsley :)
