Get an audiobook of _A Tramp across the Country_, from Audible. at a great price.
The book/audiobook is about a man's travels and explorations across America. The book, published in 1893 (it was a little too early for audiobooks then
), made the man world famous. The subject of the book, and its author are the same--Charles Fletcher Lummis.
This audiobook tells about America, when she was in a very different time, and was a very different place, from what she is today.
There is a very substantial, and very interesting, summary of Lummis' adventures, from the publisher, at
http://listen2read.com/two-storms-th...etcher-lummis/.
Ratings are sparse for the audiobook. They're more abundant, and very good, for the book, at Amazon and Goodreads.
Amazing, the 6 hour, 36 minute audiobook is only _$5.95_, now, at Audible. Amazon has an edition of the ebook for _99 cents_, that will probably sync with the Audible audiobook. The audiobook is available at several other places, too--they are listed near the bottom of the website, which address I gave you above.
