Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Circling the Globe: Letters From Foreign Lands With Biographical Sketch These random notes of foreign travel were published in the Auglaize Republican, and are now reprinted at the request of some of my traveling companions on a great part of the journey, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Pomeroy and Mr. Chas. M. Stimson being with us as far as Venice, Italy, and Mrs. Agnes G. Chichester and daughter Catherine to Cairo and the Nile. With many others from Los Angeles and vicinity we sailed from San Francisco on the "Korea" on March 9th, 1909, not as a party, but with tickets from D. F. Robertson of the German-American Savings Bank, to whom we were indebted at the starting, and during the progress of our journey, for many thoughtful courtesies. Mrs. Brotherton and I had sailed from New York on the Steamship "Zeeland" of the Red Star Line, on May 16th, 1903, for Antwerp, Belgium, and had seen the magnificent Cathedral, one of the finest in Europe, with the great painting of Rubens. "Descent from the Cross," and to Brussels and the battlefield of Waterloo and back to the Hague, Amsterdam, the Island of Marken in the Zuyder Zee, and then to Cologne, with its great Cathedral, and then up the Rhine to Mayence, Frankfort-on-the Main.
