Eldorado

Bayard Taylor takes the reader from New York to Panama, around Mexico and up to California and in that time he seems to see the whole spectrum of human existence. As his journey takes us beyond California and down into South America it becomes a celebration of the world as Taylor found it. Eldorado is a bible of the American frontier: filled with lush descriptions and fascinating stories as Barnard Taylor drifts through America like a ghost, chronicling a vast and changing continent.
