Pedestrian traveler in England bids farewell from Liverpool
A note from a lone American wanderer in September 1846 describes humble daily walks across England from Woodstock to Liverpool. He reflects on the value of roaming, details friendly English hospitality, and critiques slavery debates while recounting encounters with locals and a near-miss with mistaken identity as Elihu Burritt. He ends by praising Liverpool as a busy seaport and hints at returning home.
