https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Baedeker_Guides   but those for
Canada and the US are of particular interest for, like all travel guides,
useful info on travel, ports of departure / arrival info, means of
transport inland, money, etc. - is given - although immigrants would have
found the info useful too.  The following guides are digitised on line.
