With John Bull and Jonathan: Reminiscences of Sixty Years of an American's Life in England and in the United States is a memoir written by John Morgan Richards and published in 1906. The book recounts Richards' experiences as an American living in both England and the United States for over six decades. Richards was born in Pennsylvania in 1820 and moved to England at the age of 22 to work as a journalist. He spent several years in England, where he became familiar with the country's culture, history, and society. He also became involved in the anti-slavery movement and met many prominent figures, including Charles Dickens and William Wilberforce. In 1850, Richards returned to the United States and settled in New York City. He continued his journalism career and became involved in politics, serving as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1860. During the Civil War, Richards worked as a war correspondent and witnessed several major battles, including the Battle of Gettysburg. Throughout the book, Richards compares and contrasts the cultures and societies of England and the United States. He also provides insights into the political and social issues of his time, including slavery, the Civil War, and the Industrial Revolution. With John Bull and Jonathan offers a unique perspective on the transatlantic relationship between the United States and England during the 19th century. It provides a firsthand account of the cultural, political, and social changes that occurred during this time and offers valuable insights into the experiences of an American living abroad.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
