Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Major Jones´s Sketches of Travel: Comprising the Scenes, Incidents, and Adventures, in His Tour From Georgia to Canada Reader, do you feel like gwine on a jurny to the north! If you do, jest take a seat with me, and I´ll carry you from Pineville to Quebeck, and back agin in a little or no time. I don´t know as I can offer quite sich inducements to travelers, as is offered by some of the pop´lar writers of the day; but if I can´t promise you sich elegant style nor sich instructive and entertainin gossip by the way, I can carry you over the route as cheap as most of ´em, and with as little danger to your morals. We will travel in steamboats, ralerodes, stage-coaches, and canal-boats, over rivers, lakes and mountains. We will visit cities, towns, and country, and see-every kind of scenery, and make the acquaintance of all sorts of people; but if the trip should prove dull and uninte-restin to you, you can sleep over the long stretches, and if you should git cumpletely out of patience with your auther, you can stop on the way and git aboard of the next book that curas along. But in sober yearnest: this little sketch of my perry-grinations among the big cities of the northern states, was rit with no higher aim than to amuse the idle hours of my fiends, and if it fails to do that, its a spilt job.
