Across the Country (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Across the Country We left Chicago at noon on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road, which is called the cheapest, best and quickest. Travelling that afternoon through Illinois we saw some pretty ranches dotted over the plains and surrounded by tall, stately trees. After crossing the Mississippi at Burlington, we settled for the night, awaking the next morning in Nebraska and taking breakfast at its capital, Lincoln, which appeared to me very small.
