Autobiography of an Irish Traveller

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

'Travelers remain travelers even when they are sedentary'. Step into the extraordinary global odyssey of Walter Brabazon in the Autobiography of an Irish Traveller (1835). Driven by a unique 'nomadic mindset,' Brabazon flees a 'poor and miserable' Ireland to study foreign governments and laws across four continents.

From the 'emporium of foreign commerce' in New York to the wilds of the Pennsylvania frontier, follow his military service quelling the Whiskey Rebellion and hunting buffalo with the eccentric Major Semple. His path leads through the opulent establishments of Madras—where a retinue of 43 servants defines status—to the 'despotic' order of Canton and the frozen heart of Siberia. Witness the narrative climax as he returns to Ireland to battle a 'Limerick usurper' for his stolen patrimony before finding repose with his Siberian bride, Daria.

This work is a vital piece of the 'knowledge base of civilization,' providing a rare 'internal perspective' and surviving voice of the Mincéirí community during a time when their stories were rarely recorded.
