Charles F. Lummis tells of an America long departed, when the
western and southern frontiers were wilderness, nature untrammeled
and settlers rugged in the face of unforgiving conditions. Written
as a retrospective of the adventurer's youth, A Tramp Across the
Continent, through its varied events and encounters, transports the
reader to an era lost to time. The tale begins in 1884, when the
author - disgruntled and unhappy with the tedium of everyday life -
sets off from Ohio with the intention of reaching California on
foot. His trek, spanning some 3,500 miles and 144 days, is filled
with joy, pain and lessons aplenty. The author traverses several of
North America's most distinctive landscapes; the bare Midwestern
plains, the rugged Rocky Mountains, the deserts of Arizona, and
finally the valleys and hills of California. It is the people
however which make the journey of Lummis so unique; he is accosted
by outlaws multiple times, but evades robbery with a combination of
bravado and his trusty revolver.
