European Letter from a Lincoln Excursion Party
A long, first person diary aboard an ocean voyage recounts a university group’s trip from Lincoln to Europe. It covers departure through New York and Washington, rough and pleasant seas, steerage conditions, social life aboard, shipboard tours, and reflections on leaders and fellow travelers. Many named individuals and institutions from Nebraska appear, including Prof Lees and the University of Nebraska, with vivid notes on travel, logistics, and impressions of ships and ports.
