Summary: "An American Girl Abroad" by Adeline Trafton is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the adventures and observations of two American women as they embark on a journey across Europe, exploring various landscapes, cultures, and social interactions. The narrative likely delves into both humorous and insightful reflections on the experiences and challenges faced by women of the time while traveling alone. At the start of the narrative, we meet the main characters, Mrs. K. and the narrator, as they prepare for their voyage to Europe. The initial excitement of sailing is quickly dampened by the realities of ship travel, as they experience discomfort and seasickness. Throughout their journey, they encounter a diverse array of fellow passengers, including a jolly Englishman, a rancorous cattle dealer, and the odd Jersey man, each contributing to the story's lively atmosphere. The opening chapters capture both the humorous chaos of travel on an ocean steamer and the anticipation of the adventures that await them in Europe, setting the stage for a lively exploration of their experiences abroad.
