His first journey was to the United States, and lasted six years, from 1837 to 1843. He visited all sections of the country, leading an adventurous life, working at half a dozen different occupations and stopping in one place only long enough to earn the necessary money to take him farther. Subsequent journeys, undertaken at intervals of every few years, took him to most of the South American countries, Mexico, CAlifornia, the Sandwich and Society Islands, Australia, Java, Egypt, Abyssinia, and ended with a final tour of North and South America. He died at Brunswick in 1872. Another black and white plate of Der Ruiner Dom. The remainder of the book is written in GERMAN.
