Russian life and society as seen in 1866-'67
Nathan Appleton, a young Bostonian lately a Union officer, traveled in 1866 and 1867 with Charles Longfellow, the poet's son, from Paris to St. Petersburg and Moscow, and in 1904 published this book from the letters he had written home and his later recollections. The letters describe Paris at the height of the Second Empire, the yacht Alice, Russian society in the two capitals, the court of Alexander II, churches, theaters and winter travel, and are followed by an account of a journey to Russia with General Banks in 1869. Appleton adds sketches of Alexander II and Abraham Lincoln and an essay comparing the emancipation of the serfs with that of the American slaves.
