I've read her three volume set RETROSPECT ON WESTERN TRAVEL and will probably get some of the other works (Wikipedia indicates that she wrote over 50 books) Now, have any of you read her works and what is your opinion of them ? To me it looks like her work is well balanced and informed. Well read and well educated. She was no fan of slavery but seemed put off by the abolitionists.
 
I read one of her books in the past and enjoyed it very much. She was a good observer and a very unique and interesting person.
