Publisher's Synopsis

""A Colored Man Round The World"" is a travel narrative written by David F. Dorr, an African American man who embarked on a journey around the world in 1856. The book chronicles Dorr's experiences as he travels through Europe, Asia, and Africa, encountering various cultures, people, and customs along the way. Dorr's perspective as a person of color provides a unique lens through which to view the world, and he offers insightful observations on race relations, colonialism, and cultural differences. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the places Dorr visits, as well as his encounters with notable figures such as Queen Victoria and the Dalai Lama. Overall, ""A Colored Man Round The World"" is a fascinating and historically significant account of one man's journey through a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
