Across The Continent - A Summer's Journey To The Rocky Mountains, The Mormons And The Pacific States

About this book

This early travelogue is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains details of Samuel Bowles's travels through North America and his experiences along the way. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in the history of America. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
