About This Book

A travel narrative recounts a month of excursions through the Grisons, offering close, hour-by-hour descriptions of landscapes, villages, and everyday life, with particular attention to peasant proprietors and their industry, thrift, and honesty. The author compares scenes with those at home, reflects on the educative power of land ownership, and considers whether wider access to property might improve agricultural labourers' character and prospects. Interwoven are practical observations on cultivation, alpine travel, and social customs, presented with precise detail intended to let readers reconstruct the journeys mentally.
