Acting as a critical observer rather than a tourist, Dickens visited cities from Boston to St. Louis, examining prisons, institutions, and society. He praised Boston's beauty and was moved by meeting Laura Bridgman at a school for the blind. However, he sharply criticized slavery, American press sensationalism, public hygiene, and the nation's commercial obsessions, delivering an unflinching analysis of American society's flaws and virtues.
