Bird Isabella (1831-1904) - was an English traveler who made a remarkable
series of journeys at the end of the 19th century. Bird was born in the
English county of Yorkshire on October 15, 1831. Her father was an
Anglican clergyman and her mother was the daughter of a clergyman. Bird
was a small woman and suffered from several ailments during her childhood.
In 1850 she had an operation to remove a tumor from her spine. The
operation was only partially successful, and she suffered from insomnia
and depression. Her doctor recommended that she travel, and in 1854 her
father gave her 100 pounds and told her she was free to go wherever she
wanted. She used it to travel to North America and stayed for several
months in eastern Canada and the United States. On her return she used the
letters she had written to her sister, Hennie, as the basis for her first
book, The Englishwoman in America.

| Tschiffely
Aime- a Swiss man, made one of the most historically
significant equestrian trips of the 20th century when he rode more than
10,000 miles from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Washington, D.C. in 1928.
Aime had no previous equestrian experience and no one thought he
would reach America alive. But
he went on to be greeted at the White House by President Calvin Coolidge,
the only Long Rider ever honored this way.
His book, Tschiffely's
Ride, is one of the most famous equestrian books ever written.
