| Summary | "A Summer's Outing and The Old Man's Story" by Carter H. Harrison is a collection of travel letters written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's journey through the wonders of the Yellowstone National Park, Alaska, and other scenic areas, reflecting on nature's majesty and the human experience in these breathtaking landscapes. It features the author's observations and encounters while traveling with his daughter, painting a vivid picture of the sights and experiences that can be found in these relatively untouched regions. At the start of this work, the author introduces the concept of a summer outing, describing how it serves as a popular escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the opening letter, he recalls the pleasant landscapes he encounters during his travels from Chicago to St. Paul, expressing nostalgia and appreciation for the change in scenery. He captures the beauty of the regions traversed, discussing social observations and personal reflections, and hints at the adventures awaiting them in Yellowstone. Harrison’s vivid description of nature, interwoven with personal anecdotes, sets the stage for an exploration of the landscapes, wildlife, and the nuances of the journey ahead.
