Cruisings: Afloat And Ashore is a book written by Ned Buntline and originally published in 1851. The book is a collection of narratives and anecdotes of the author's experiences traveling by sea and on land. Buntline was a well-known American author, adventurer, and journalist who wrote extensively about the American West and the sea. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part detailing Buntline's experiences at sea, including his time as a sailor on a whaling ship and his encounters with pirates and other sea-faring adventures. The second part of the book focuses on Buntline's travels on land, including his experiences with Native American tribes, his travels through the American West, and his encounters with famous figures of the time, such as Davy Crockett and Kit Carson. Throughout the book, Buntline provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes and people he encounters, as well as his own thoughts and reflections on his experiences. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the adventures of a 19th-century traveler and writer, and provides a unique perspective on the world of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
