"Of all those tourists I like Dame Trollope best....She knew her subject well, and she set it forth fairly and squarely....She did not gild us; and neither did she whitewash us."--Mark Twain. Frances Trollope, mother of Anthony, visited America at a critical period of its history and wrote an enduring, if irreligious, portrait of the nation.
