Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Horseback: A Tour in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, With Notes of Travel in Mexico and California "The way to mount a horse" - said the Professor. "If you have no ladder" - put in the Friend of Humanity. The Professor had ridden through the war for the Union on the right side, enjoying a much better view of it than if he had walked, and knew as much about a horse as a person ought to know for the sake of his character. The man who can recite the tales of the Canterbury Pilgrims, on horseback, giving the contemporary pronunciation, never missing an accent by reason of the trot, and at the same time witch North Carolina and a strip of East Tennessee with his noble horsemanship, is a kind of Literary Centaur of whose double instruction any Friend of Humanity may be glad to avail himself.
