Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Journey to the Rocky Mountains in the Year 1839
The Holy Roman Empire had drawn its last gasp in Napoleon's day. Germany thereafter was a loose confederation of its sovereigns, whose representatives, or ambassadors, sat in permanent council (bundes rath) at Frankfort on the Main, which might thus be called the capital of Germany.
