About This Book

A practical, experience-based handbook that instructs prospective travelers on mindset, preparations, and money management, then surveys transportation modes — American and continental railways, steamboats, ocean voyages, stagecoaches, animal and human-powered conveyances — and offers tips on sea life, preventing sea sickness, hotels, tipping, currency, languages, and employing couriers. It includes chapters on mountain and pedestrian travel, traveling without funds, suggested skeleton itineraries and round-the-world routes with distances, and legal rights and frontier travel. Advice combines personal anecdotes, checklists, and specialized sections for women and for unusual environments, aiming to prepare readers for common difficulties and practical decisions on land and sea.
