Julia M. Ellison Travel Journal

Résumé du livre

In the summer of 1909, Mrs. Ellison made a "spur of the moment" decision to take an extended European trip. This 150 page journal is the diary of a portion of that trip. The first entry, June 16, 1909, was written mid-ocean aboard The President Lincoln of the Hamburg-American Line, and recounts the events leading up to her "unexpected" trip as well as what occurred from the time she left home on June 5 to the date of writing. Mrs. Ellison began her tour from Berlin, stopping for a few days in Warsaw before spending a little over a week in Russia (Moscow & St Petersburg). She went from there to Helsinki, spent another few days in Sweden (Stockholm & Golinberg) then took a month's tour of Norway. From mid August to the first of October, she lived in Berlin then moved to Dresden where she remained the rest of the winter. In her Feb 14, 1910 entry from Dresden, the last in the journal, Mrs. Ellison indicates she will leave the next day for Italy. The last page of the journal contains addresses for George Schultz, London, England; F Schultz, Huyton, Lancashire, England; D.W. Scarisbrick, Liverpool, England; and Mrs. Alfred A Stoneberger, Paris, France
