Description
A Tramp Across the Continent is a memoir of Charles F. Lummis' epic journey across North America in 1884. Spanning 3,500 miles and 144 days, the author's trek took him through diverse landscapes, including the Midwestern plains, the Rocky Mountains, the deserts of Arizona, and the valleys and hills of California.
Along the way, Lummis encountered a range of people, including outlaws, who tested his bravery and resourcefulness. His account of these experiences offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those who lived on the fringes of American society during the late 19th century.
This book is a fascinating account of one man's journey, filled with stories of adventure, hardship, and personal growth. With its vivid descriptions of the natural world and its people, A Tramp Across the Continent is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history and the stories of those who shaped it.
