The Round Trip: From The Hub To The Golden Gate

By Susie Champney Clark

Book Overview

The Round Trip: From The Hub To The Golden Gate is a travelogue written by Susie C. Clark. The book describes Clark's journey from Boston, Massachusetts (the ""hub"" of the United States) to San Francisco, California (the ""golden gate"" to the Pacific Ocean) and back again. The book was originally published in 1890, during a time when travel across the United States was becoming more common. Clark's travelogue provides a firsthand account of what it was like to travel by train and stagecoach during this period. Throughout the book, Clark describes the sights and experiences she encounters along the way, including the scenery of the Rocky Mountains, the vast prairies of the Midwest, and the bustling cities of the West Coast. She also provides insights into the people she meets, including Native Americans, cowboys, and Chinese immigrants. The Round Trip: From The Hub To The Golden Gate is a fascinating glimpse into the history of travel and the United States during the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history, travel, or the development of the West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
