Clark Old South III 481: "A record of Olmsted's observations made during a trip through Mississippi Alabama Tennessee and the back country of the Carolinas and Virginia. He passed through such towns as Woodville Miss. Natchez Jackson Vicksburg Memphis Tuscaloosa Asheville and Richmond. However the value of the book lies in his description of rural life . one of the outstanding features of the book is the author's attempt to compare and contrast the various social classes of the North and South. Although it is known that Olmsted privately acknowledged that there was a great deal of rowdyism and commonness among the northern farmers and laborers and no true aristocrats in the southern sense still he avoided this in his writing and played up what he considered the higher general level of culture in the North as compared with the general backwardness of the South."
