This account of the Americans in London during the Victorian era challenges a stereotype of American expatriates that is based upon the experiences of only a few famous individuals and women who married titles. It reveals the diversity that existed among the other Americans abroad during that time and describes the ordinary Americans in London as residents, businessmen, diplomats, tourists, historians, tribal performers, and baseball players. It notes both the ways in which Americans affirmed their nationality and the complexity of that nationality.The book's findings are derived from an analysis of more than 6,000 Americans on the census of London in 1891, more than 300 travel accounts published by 19th century American visitors to London, and archival papers of Americans who were in London between 1837 and 1900.
