"The Old World and Its Ways" by William Jennings Bryan is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. In this work, the author recounts his family’s extensive travels around the world, exploring various cultures, landscapes, and historical sites, particularly focusing on destinations in Europe and Asia. The book aims to provide observations of the places visited, reflecting Bryan's educational insights gained during their journey, which he undertook with his wife and children.
