Dear Mama! The correspondence of Jiří Daneš to his mother Johanna, née Fastrová, from his journey to a geographical congress in Washington D. C. and travels across the USA in 1904

Summary/Abstract: This edition presents the collected correspondence of eminent Czech geographer and traveller Jiří Daneš (1880–1928), which was sent to his mother Johanna, née Fastrova (1837–1908), as he undertook his fi rst transatlantic journey to the Eighth International Geographical Congress in Washington D. C. and then travelled across the United States in 1904. The correspondence is a curious testimony to a Czech scientist’s day-to-day life on his travels. Furthermore, the correspondence allows us to perceive the life of American society at the beginning of the 20th century through the eyes of a young patriotic intellectual and ambitious man of science.
