Ocean to Ocean on Horseback by Captain Willard Glazier Hard Cover 1895?
Ocean to Ocean on Horseback by Captain Willard Glazier Hard Cover 544 Pages Illustrated Entered according to Act of Congress 1895
The story of a tour in the saddle from Atlantic to the Pacific; with especial reference to the early history and development of citieis and towns along the route; and regions traversed beyond the Mississippi; together with incidents, anecdotes and adventures of the journey. Illustrated.
IT was the intention of the writer to publish a narrative descriptive of his overland tour from the Atlantic to the Pacific soon after returning from California in 1876, and his excuse for the delay in publication is that a variety of circumstances compelled him to postpone for a time the duty of arranging the contents of his journal until other pressing matters had been satisfactorily attended to. Again, considerable unfinished literary work, set aside when he began preparation for crossing the Continent, had to be resumed, and for these reasons the story of his journey from "OCEAN TO OCEAN ON HORSEBACK" iS only now ready for the printer. In view of this delay in going to press, the author will endeavor to show a due regard for the changes time has wrought along his line of march, and while noting the incidents of his long ride from day to day, it has been his aim so far as possible to discuss the regions traversed, the growth of cities and the development of their industries from the standpoint of the present.
