| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Vers le cœur de l'Amérique" by Charles Wagner is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The work follows a French Protestant pastor as he explores the moral, religious, and civic life of the United States, blending personal encounters with social observation to understand the nation’s inner energy. It highlights meetings with prominent figures, urban and rural scenes, and recurring themes of simplicity, fraternity, and transatlantic goodwill.<br/><br/>The opening of this travel memoir presents a dedication to Theodore Roosevelt and a preface stating the author’s aim: to reach the country’s vital center and grasp the sources of its extraordinary activity through intimate human contact. Wagner recounts the early ties that led him to America—friendships with Grace King, connections to the Outlook and Lyman Abbott, translations of his work, and Roosevelt’s public praise that spurred the trip. He weighs family responsibilities, resolves to go, and confronts the second “ocean” of English, finally improving his speech with the help of an actor and sustained effort. With John Wanamaker’s guidance and hospitality, he sails on La Lorraine, suffers seasickness, reflects on class divisions at sea, then arrives by night to a harbor of lights and an orderly welcome. First impressions of New York emphasize the colossal port, stark skyscrapers, brisk journalism, crowded streets, elevated trains, and domestic glimpses—laundry lines, ivy-clad buildings, and the expanse of Central Park—alongside the practical task of arranging a lecture tour. Short excursions up the Hudson include Irvington and the simple, consoling cemetery at Sleepy Hollow; he gives his first hesitant English address at a home gathering and enjoys warm family devotions and art-filled rooms at Wanamaker’s Lindenhurst. His flâneries capture open lawns, few fences, outdoor games, and a child’s charming “tea” in a woodland playhouse. A centerpiece is an intimate visit to the White House: a plain, dignified setting, an earnest family spirit, multilingual conversation, and a vivid portrait of Roosevelt’s integrity, energy, and peace-minded patriotism. The section closes with more personal vignettes from Washington and a country drive to Lyman Abbott’s home at Cornwall-on-Hudson, where farm routines, fresh milk, and apple orchards frame the approach to his first major American church experience at Bethany in Philadelphia.
