As with many 1800s travelogues, you're going to see some racism. Doesn't excuse it even though his attitudes toward toward Indigenous, Black, and Asian people were more prevalent at the time. If you're okay reading around those, there's some great descriptions of the west coast and Hawaii, as well as around mining towns in Nevada and California. Really enjoyed the parts about Utah and Lake Mono.
