"Ocean to Ocean on Horseback" by Willard W. Glazier is a historical travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's adventurous journey on horseback across the American continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, emphasizing the history and development of various cities and towns along the route. Glazier, a soldier and author, shares not only the geographical aspects of his journey but also personal anecdotes and experiences during his travels. The opening of the narrative introduces Glazier's boyhood dream of exploring the vastness of America and the challenges he faced in fulfilling this ambition, including financial struggles and educational pursuits. After serving in the Civil War and capturing a wealth of experience through both combat and imprisonment, he resolved to undertake his grand journey, determined to witness the country's transformation firsthand. He describes acquiring a horse, named Paul Revere, that becomes his trusted companion in this endeavor. The introductory chapters also outline his preparations and initial lectures held prior to his departure, setting the stage for the stories and observations he will share as he traverses the diverse landscapes of America.
