"Young Americans Abroad" by John Overton Choules is a travelogue written in the mid-19th century. This work chronicles the adventures of a group of young American boys traveling through Europe, specifically visiting England, France, Holland, Belgium, Prussia, and Switzerland. The narrative likely focuses on their explorations, experiences, and reflections in various European cities, touching on cultural observations as well as personal growth. At the start of the narrative, a group of boys, aged twelve to sixteen, express their excitement about embarking on a journey to Europe with their instructor as a mentor. They begin their adventure by boarding a ship in New York, where they are greeted by a lively crowd bidding them farewell. The boys are filled with anticipation for the voyage, keeping journals to document their experiences and sending letters back to a friend who could not join them. Casual yet vibrant, the early parts of the book highlight their initial encounters aboard the ship and their first impressions of England, setting the stage for a series of reflections and insights that will follow as they journey through different cultures and landscapes.
