When young Charles Lummis heard about a job in the small town of Los Angeles more than a century ago, he walked all the way to it—across the plains, up Pike's Peak, down Devil's Gorge, through the Grand Canyon, over the desert. It was, by conservative estimate, one of the grandest hikes in American history. With no reason to be modest, Lummis called his "unpretentious" account of it "the wayside notes of a happy vagabonding."

A Tramp across the Continent
In 1884 Charles Lummis was offered a job at a Los Angeles newspaper. He lived in Ohio. He took the job and then walked to California'passing though all the great landmarks we now think of in terms of National Parks. His dispatches elevated him to hero status (of sorts) and his road trip turned out to be one of the greatest hikes in history. Lummis was one of the first advocates for Indian rights, Hispanic rights and the preservation of the natural wilderness. His writing is gloriously prosaic, some sort of Victorian hybrid, so common in the 19th century. His naïve exuberance at the wonders he encountered are infectious. This is a completely enjoyable. Put it with some John Muir and you have a great tree-hugger combo.
