Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hesperos or Travels in the West, Vol. 1 of 2
On we sped, and during that first and last, and only calm day, every one ate and drank and en joyed themselves. Breakfast at eight, not the usual miserable steamboat fare, horrid tea, limp toast, stale bread, and salt butter, but broiled fowls, kidneys, beefsteaks, Sold ham, dried herrings, and eggs in profusion. Every two hours through out the day, was the business Of eating renewed, in some Shape or other, and scarcely were the remains of one meal cleared away, when the stewards again entered in a body, laden with piles Of plates, which they dashed into their respective places with a force and velocity which never failed to excite my wonder and admiration.
