A Tramp Across The Continent (1892)

""A Tramp Across The Continent"" is a travelogue written by Charles Fletcher Lummis in 1892. The book chronicles his journey on foot from Cincinnati to Los Angeles, covering a distance of over 3,500 miles. Along the way, Lummis encounters a variety of people and experiences, including Native American tribes, cowboys, and railroad workers. He also describes the natural beauty and challenges of the landscape, including the Rocky Mountains and the Mojave Desert. Throughout the book, Lummis provides insights into the social and economic conditions of the time, including the impact of the railroad on western expansion and the treatment of Native Americans. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the American West of the late 19th century and the spirit of adventure that drove pioneers like Lummis to explore it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
