On Horseback

On Horseback is a travelogue written by Charles Dudley Warner in the late 19th century. The book chronicles his journey on horseback through the American South, from Tennessee to Florida, during the winter of 1874. Warner's purpose for the trip was to escape the harsh northern winter and to explore the region's natural beauty, as well as to observe the social and political conditions of the post-Civil War South.Throughout the book, Warner provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, flora, and fauna he encounters, as well as the people he meets along the way. He also reflects on the region's history and its impact on the nation as a whole. Warner's observations on the South's racial tensions and economic struggles provide a valuable insight into the social and political climate of the time.On Horseback is not only a travelogue but also a reflection on the American identity and the nation's future. Warner's writing style is engaging and humorous, making the book an enjoyable and informative read. The book is a testament to the power of travel and exploration in broadening one's horizons and understanding of the world.The Professor and the Friend of Humanity were about starting on a journey, across country southward, through regions about which the people of Abingdon could give little useful information. If the travelers had known the capacities and resources of the country, they would not have started without a supply train, or the establishment of bases of provisions in advance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
