About this book

In December 1856 Bayard Taylor landed at Stockholm and within a week started north by sleigh. His route crossed Norrland and the Arctic Circle and carried him into Lapland by reindeer, on a winter trip that ran two months. Coming back south he spent seventeen hours exposed at 47 degrees below zero, and one morning the mercury froze outright at 49. A later season took him through Copenhagen and on to Christiania, which fills out the summer half of the book. Taylor's aim, he wrote, was to give photographs rather than diagrams or tables of figures, and the preference shows: the Finns and Lapps he lodged with, the manners and morals of Stockholm, the sunless day at Kautokeino. First published in 1857.

About the author

Bayard Taylor

Bayard Taylor (1825-1878) was an American travel writer, poet, and diplomat whose dispatches for the New-York Tribune made him one of the most widely read correspondents of his day. His first book, Views A-foot (1846), described a walking tour of Europe made on almost no money, and he went on to report from California, Egypt, India, Japan, and the Arctic.
