On Horseback is a travelogue written by Charles Dudley Warner, chronicling his journey through the American West in the late 1800s. The book is a vivid description of his experiences during his trip, which he undertook on horseback, exploring the rugged terrain of the western frontier. Warner's writing style is engaging and descriptive, painting a vivid picture of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encountered during his travels. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the American West during a time of great change and expansion, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the region.The Professor and the Friend of Humanity were about starting on a journey, across country southward, through regions about which the people of Abingdon could give little useful information. If the travelers had known the capacities and resources of the country, they would not have started without a supply train, or the establishment of bases of provisions in advance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
