The book "A Spring Flight in the Lucania Car from New York to the Pacific Coast and Back, April and May 1898" allows the reader to immerse himself in a journey through the continental United States in the early 20th century. The author, John Harris Knowles, describes not only the scenery and the route of the trip, but also the daily life and observations made during the trip. The historical context of 1898, when intensive exploration of the territories took place in the USA, gives the writing even greater depth and interest. "Flying in the spring in the Lucanian car" is a unique opportunity to experience the burning spirit of adventure and exploration that was inherent in that time.
