The narrative recounts the author’s observations and experiences as she travels through America, notably focusing on the cultural and social behaviors of its people during this period. The book is set against the backdrop of Trollope's journey starting in New Orleans and explores various locations, interactions, and phenomena that she encounters, providing insights into American society from a European perspective. At the start of the book, Trollope describes her family's arrival in New Orleans after a long sea voyage, and her mixed feelings about leaving the ocean for a landscape dominated by the muddy Mississippi. She vividly depicts the desolate entrance of the river and the surrounding environment, expressing her initial impressions of poverty and the harsh condition of life along its banks. Drawing from her experiences, Trollope reflects on the peculiarities of Southern society, noting the diverse cultures present in the city, including the Creoles and Quadroons. As she ventures into different social settings, her observations about manners, social class distinctions, and the influence of slavery are striking, setting the stage for the broader commentary on American life that unfolds throughout the work.
