Westward with the Prince of Wales

A British journalist's eyewitness travelogue chronicles a 1919 royal cross-country tour by sea and rail, following the Prince of Wales from Newfoundland through Atlantic ports, Quebec and Ontario cities, the Prairie provinces, the Rockies and the Pacific coast, then onward to American cities. It combines aboard-ship anecdotes and the royal train portrayed as a mobile hotel with detailed accounts of civic receptions, parades and local hospitality, alongside landscape descriptions, visits to ranches and mining towns, encounters between Indigenous and settler communities, and impressions of commerce, industry and social life encountered along the route.
