Ghosts walk here. Lonely women, devious daguerreotypists, penniless songwriters, phantom horses, privileged children, freedom seekers fleeing the hideous bonds of enslavement, dubious priests, immigrants heading West. They haunt prairies, steamships, the World’s Fair, frozen hinterlands, whaling ships, battlefields, and of course, houses . . .
Victorian America was a contested period of immense change. Industrialization, mechanization, technological breakthroughs, social and political upheavals, and an epic Civil War dominated the era, transforming both the landscape and the people of the United States forever, and setting the stage for the progressive 20th Century. These pages are populated by the ghosts of that age—the ones who walked then, and who may still walk among us today . . .
