Marvelous record of royalty riding the rails through New York and beyond, with a wonderful color map of the Niagara Falls region. Notable in the text is the strong connection between Germany and the United States with her large German-American population, to be rattled by the U.S. entry into the World War some 15 years later. OCLC locates but a single copy, at the Schleswig Holsteinische Landesbib Kiel.
