"A Jayhawker in Europe" by W. Y. Morgan is a collection of letters from the summer of 1911, recounting a trip through Europe. The author shares his thoughts and what he sees as he goes to different places, with a focus on how people from different cultures interact and how these experiences affect him personally. The book begins as the author gets ready to leave New York, making light of the busy preparations. He thinks about how life on the East Coast differs from life in the West, pointing out some odd things about New Yorkers and their summer habits, while sharing his excitement about sailing across the ocean. The author enjoys the energy of the ship's departure and describes feelings of expectancy from other travelers and the atmosphere on the ship, laying the groundwork for his observations of the different cultures and landscapes he will soon find.
