About this book

Two years of travel through Europe with a knapsack and a walking staff fill this 1846 account by Bayard Taylor, then a young poet and printer's apprentice. N. P. Willis supplies a preface describing how Taylor set out with little money and paid his way by working along the road, spending about $500 in all. A letter from Taylor to Willis in the preface tells how he began with two years of apprenticeship still to serve. The book appeared in two parts.

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.
