10,000 Miles By Land And Sea is a travelogue written by William Wilson Ross and first published in 1876. The book documents Ross's journey across America and Asia, covering a distance of 10,000 miles. The narrative begins in San Francisco, where Ross sets sail for Japan. He then travels through China, India, and Egypt before returning to America via Europe. Through his vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Ross offers readers a glimpse into the cultural, social, and political landscapes of the countries he visits. He also provides insights into the challenges and joys of traveling in the 19th century, including encounters with bandits, storms at sea, and cultural misunderstandings. The book is a fascinating account of a world that no longer exists, capturing a moment in time when travel was still a rare and exotic experience. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, travel, or adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
