A Tramp Across The Continent (1892)

""A Tramp Across The Continent"" is a travelogue written by Charles Fletcher Lummis, originally published in 1892. The book chronicles Lummis' journey from Cincinnati, Ohio to Los Angeles, California by foot in the late 19th century. Lummis documents his experiences as a tramp, or a person who travels on foot without a clear destination or plan. Along the way, he encounters various people, landscapes, and challenges, including extreme weather conditions, dangerous animals, and hostile individuals. Lummis also provides insight into the social and cultural dynamics of the time, including the treatment of Native Americans and the impact of industrialization on rural communities. The book offers a unique perspective on the American West during a period of rapid change and expansion, and remains a valuable historical document.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
