| Summary |
"A Jayhawker in Europe" by W. Y. Morgan is a travel narrative composed of letters written during the summer of 1911. The book chronicles the author's observations and experiences as he journeys through Europe, specifically highlighting cultural interactions and personal reflections during his travels. At the start of the book, the author prepares to leave New York for an overseas adventure, humorously recounting his last day in America amidst the oppressive heat and chaos of travel preparations. He reflects on the differences between East Coast and Western lifestyles, noting the peculiarities of New Yorkers and their summer traditions, while expressing excitement about the impending ocean voyage. Morgan embraces the lively atmosphere surrounding the ship's departure, capturing emotions of anticipation from fellow passengers and detailing the dynamics aboard the steamship Potsdam as they sail toward Europe, setting the stage for his observations of various cultures and landscapes he will encounter.
