Welcome to America, Mr. Sherlock Holmes Victorian America Meets Arthur Conan Doyle

Christopher Redmond's fascinating account of Doyle's first trip to America has been reconstructed from newspaper accounts describing the places Doyle visited, from the Adirondacks to New York, Chicago, and Toronto. Despite the gruelling tour schedule, Doyle met dozens of the most important literary and social lights of America. Everywhere he went he was mobbed by public hungry for news of the man he had "killed off" a year earlier - Sherlock Holmes, who was front page news. In Redmond's lively narrative, which is based on letters, newspaper reports, and other newly unearthed sources, you will discover, as Doyle himself put it, "the romance of America."Redmond, Christopher is the author of 'Welcome to America, Mr. Sherlock Holmes Victorian America Meets Arthur Conan Doyle', published 1988 under ISBN 9780889241848 and ISBN 0889241848.
