Geographic Highlights

Margaret Fuller stated that she was not "particularly anxious to give the geography of the scene, inasmuch as it seemed to me no route, nor series of stations, but a garden interspersed with cottages, groves and flowery lawns, through which a stately river ran." However, any one who reads Summer on the Lakes will soon be struck by Fuller's descriptions of scenes that reveal the beauty of the "far west." These links are provided to help contextualize the geography and history of the communities and regions featured in her work.
