About this book
A westbound train full of Notre Dame students gives Charles Warren Stoddard an animated start to this 1899 travel account. Vacation begins with overflowing trunks, school farewells and excursion cars that become dormitories after dark. Beyond Chicago, he watches prairie country, broad rivers and dusty plains give way to the first snowy views of the Rockies. His attention moves between the passing landscape and the small pleasures of travelling in company.
Farther north, the mood changes as a ship carries him into Alaska's waters. Long summer twilight, pine-framed shores and drifting ice bring both wonder and a growing sense of distance from help. Fragments striking the vessel's paddles give the scenery a practical edge. Readers interested in older rail and coastal travel will find a personal record of transport, companionship and landscape, told through incidents rather than a guidebook's instructions.
