Being the Random Notes of an Incurable Vagabond

By Harry A. Franck

Author Of
"A Vagabond Journey Around The World,"
"Zone Policeman 88,"
etc.

Illustrated With Photographs By The Author

To The Mexican Peon With Sincerest Wishes For His Ultimate Emancipation
FOREWORD

This simple story of a journey southward grew up of itself. Planning a comprehensive exploration of South America, I concluded to reach that continent by some less monotonous route than the steamship's track; and herewith is presented the unadorned narrative of what I saw on the way,—the day-by-day experiences in rambling over bad roads and into worse lodging-places that infallibly befall all who venture afield south of the Rio Grande. The present account joins up with that of five months on the Canal Zone, already published, clearing the stage for a larger forthcoming volume on South America giving the concrete results of four unbroken years of Latin-American travel.

Harry A. Franck.
New York, May, 1916.

It is available in several formats from Gutenberg.org. That's a free ebook website, all legal and out of copyright. I liked to read about his travel from Laredo in 1916 and on down here. For interest in Gto just read thru chapter III. I love when he talks about standing outside the mine in Valenciana and looking to Leon. Yeah, there would have been alot of space and probably a beautiful vista. I'll have to download the one with photos. When I got it years ago there weren't all the formats that there are now. Enjoy.
