Maxwell Whiteman CollectionSummary: From the Forward "In these pages, the National Portrait Gallery highlights the observations of European, South American, Asian and African visitors to the United States during the first century -and-a-half of its existence as a nation. The twenty nine essays written by foreign writers, each discussing a compatriot's journey to the New World, and by American specialists in the cultures of other travelers, trace across time and from many vantage points the emergence of this country."
