Famed poet, traveler, and advocate for the rights of Native Americans, Helen Hunt (later Helen Hunt Jackson) penned this lively and interesting tale of her trip to Europe in the late 1860s. Rome, Venice, and Munich, among others, are on her itinerary and she takes you along.

Helen Maria Hunt Jackson (1830-1885) was a childhood friend of Emily Dickinson and was a national figure during her lifetime. Ralph Waldo Emerson admired Jackson's poetry and she was supported by prominent newspaper editors by the publication of her works advocating for Native Americans.

But that was in the future. During this trip to Europe, she was attempting to heal from the loss of her husband and two sons to disease and accident.
