A Tramp Across the Continent

Description:

In September 1884, Charles Lummis left Cincinnati for Los Angeles, and a job reporting for the LA Times - on foot. For four and a half months he walked across the continent, "the longest walk for pleasure on record" as he described it, on the way meeting hundreds of people and having countless adventures. This is his story.
