A quick comment, with more to follow. I quite enjoyed this book, though there was racism present, especially in the portrayal of First Nations in the US. It wasn't, however, more than one would have expected from the time (and nationality) of the author, who could have had no first hand knowledge of the American West or its indigenous inhabitants.
My enjoyment of Around the World in 80 Days was greatly enhanced by Patrick Tull's narration of the audio book.
