A party of Americans form a club in Paris pledged to travel cheaply by their wits, then set out for Italy at the height of the 1859 war. Buttons, Dick and their friends quell landlords, fight off humbugs, travel without baggage, speak bad French and worse Italian, and keep getting into trouble with Italian lovers, husbands, brothers and police.
A comic travel novel in the vein of The Innocents Abroad, full of Yankee bluff and Italian chaos. Download the free EPUB.
