About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Anglo-American Memories by George Washburn Smalley. Read in English by David Wales “These Memories [1911] were written in the first instance for Americans and have appeared week by week each Sunday in the New York Tribune…. they are mainly concerned with men of exceptional mark and position in America and Europe whom I have met, and with events of which I had some personal knowledge. There is no attempt at a consecutive story.” (Preface) Smalley was an American journalist born in Massachusetts in 1833; he wrote from and about many places in America (including the Civil War) and Europe. - Summary by Book Preface and David Wales
