Book Overview

Paddles And Politics Down The Danube is a travelogue written by Poultney Bigelow in 1892. The book chronicles his journey down the Danube River, from its source in Germany to its delta in the Black Sea, in a canoe. Along the way, Bigelow provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, cultures, and people he encounters on his journey. He also includes anecdotes and observations about the political and social climate of the regions he passes through, including Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria.
