Went to the Golden Lamb in Lebanon, Ohio today. Dickens spent the night here on one of his American trips (maybe the 1867 one?) and they've been making money off the poor man's memory ever since.

Whereas you can stay at the Golden Lamb, you can't stay in his room.

I think he stayed here on his second tour most particularly because in chapter 13 of "American Notes," he simply says that they stayed at "an inn." According to the inn's historians, he did a full reading.

Here's from "American Notes," chapter XIII: "... at three o’clock in the afternoon, we halted once more at a village called Lebanon to inflate the horses again, and give them some corn besides:"

Mostly I want to know how they inflated the horses...
