Summary "Diary in America, Series Two" by Captain Frederick Marryat is a historical travel narrative written in the early 19th century. The text offers a detailed account of Marryat's observations of the social, cultural, and transportation practices in the United States and Canada during his travels in the late 1830s. The author critiques various aspects of American society while documenting his experiences and impressions, highlighting both the peculiarities and the charm of the locations he visits. The opening of this narrative sets the stage for Marryat's exploration of American travel, beginning with his reflections on the insights foreign travelers like himself might provide that locals often overlook. He shares anecdotes from his journeys across the vast continent, addressing the challenges and idiosyncrasies of transportation via stage coaches and steamships. His commentary ranges from the state of American roads and the quality of horses to the behavior of drivers and passengers, revealing a blend of admiration and critical observation as he notes the contrasts between American and British customs in travel. Marryat's engaging prose is enriched with humor and a keen sense of observation, promising readers a unique perspective on American life during this dynamic period.
