Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Incidents of Travel in the Southern States and Cuba: With a Description of the Mammoth Cave
This has been styled the city of magnificent distances. To me, it appears more like a large, unfinished village, laid out on an extensive scale, and awaiting completion, than a solid, compactly built city of fifty thousand inhabitants. It is laid out to use the grandiloquent language of the guide-book, on a plan of great magnitude; and will, if the design of its founders be carried out, and their anti cipations realized, he a magnificent memorial of the great man from Whom it is named: and a city, whose gigantic proportions shall harmonize with the power and extent of the mighty Republic of which it is the capital.
