European trip tells of rail and road adventures abroad
A nephew of Oliver Huss writes from Paris in December 1903 about a long business European tour. He travels through England, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, and the Baltic states by car and train, describing landscapes, cities, poverty in peasant huts, crosses along roads, Moscow and St. Petersburg scenes, and a Crimea visit. He notes costs, languages, and the challenges of travel, ending with reflections on hospitality in Scandinavia and a final return home.
