Henry C. Barkley (c.1825 c.1895) was a civil engineer and author.
His travel books included Between the Danube and the Black Sea
(1876), which covers the five years in which he was working on the
construction of a railway line linking the Danube and the Black
Sea, and Bulgaria before the War (1877), written at the time of the
Russo-Turkish war. (He also wrote a guide to rat-catching for
public-school boys, and My Boyhood (1877), a collection of tales
from his own childhood.) Published in 1891, this work recounts the
author's adventures on a journey that took him in 1878 from
Bucharest, through Istanbul, across Asia Minor and back to
Trebizond (now Trabzon) on the Black Sea coast, a distance of 1400
miles, completed in 96 days. He describes with zest and humour the
habits and customs of Christian and Muslim communities that he
encounters on the way.
