Description

The Dark Traveller by Cindy Wright Travel in 17th-century England was a perilous journey. The plague spread easily between towns and villages, carried by people moving along routes that would take days to complete today. Inns and public houses were common gathering places, where people would feast and drink in relatively unsanitary conditions. These establishments posed a significant risk of illness transmission, as many patrons had poor hygiene themselves. Without the support of friends or family members, travelers would often be forced to stay in these buildings, increasing their chances of contracting diseases like the common cold or the bubonic plague. This book explores the challenges faced by those traveling during this time period, and the risks they took to reach their destinations.
