Tour in Dalmatia, Albania, and Montenegro with an Historical Sketch of the Republic of Ragusa, from

In his only published work, nearly forgotten English author WILLIAM FREDERIC WINGFIELD takes readers on a trip though Croatia and its history. Wingfield strives to give his audience a full account of the towns and cities he comes to, describing where the inhabitants came from and what cultural peculiarities they might display, and investigating the religious lineage of the various monasteries and churches he encounters. His travels further take him into the Turkish empire, where he is amazed by the differences between English and Turkish society. Part history lesson and part travel guide, A Tour in Dalmatia, Albania, and Montenegro is a glimpse into an often neglected part of the world. Those intrigued by the mystery of far-flung regions will enjoy this journey along the coast of the Adriatic Sea.
