Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Big American Caravan in Europe The following letters were written while making a tour on the Continent of Europe. There was no idea, at the time, of their publication. No pains was taken with them, and they were often hurriedly written under the most unfavorable circumstances. Our itinerary aimed to consume all our time, and frequently we were at a loss for rest. But for this reason they may be all the more acceptable, as they convey the impressions that were fresh upon me, and are honest impressions with regard to things as I saw them. A desire on the part of those who made this tour to have the letters, led to their publication, and they may not fail to entertain others. The putting through this large party in the very height of the tourist season, was certainly a mammoth undertaking, and shows to what perfection this business has attained. In Switzerland especially, where it has been estimated over a million tourists visited during the summer, it was a wonder that we experienced no inconvenience from delays or over crowding. The weather, for the most part, was very propitious and our chances for sight seeing were perhaps rarely excelled.
