Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abroad at Home: American Ramblings, Observations and Adventures "What, you are stepping westward?" - "Yea!" - ´Twould be a wildish destiny, If we, who thus together roam In a strange Land, and far from home, Were in this place the guests of Chance: Yet who would stop or fear to advance, Though home or shelter he had none, With such a sky to lead him on? - Wordsworth. For some time I have desired to travel over the United States - to ramble and observe and seek adventure here, at home, not as a tourist with a short vacation and a round-trip ticket, but as a kind of privateer with a roving commission. The more I have contemplated the possibility the more it has engaged me. For we Americans, though we are the most restless race in the world, with the possible exception of the Bedouins, almost never permit ourselves to travel, either at home or abroad, as the "guests of Chance." We always go from one place to another with a definite purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
