A Californian Circling the Globe
Material type:
TextSubject(s): Abstract: Henry Fuller (1846-?), owner of a furniture store in Los Angeles and an orange grove in Redlands (east of Los Angeles), chronicles his journey around the world, his original purpose having been to visit the Holy Land. He and one of his sons, Leslie Elmer Fuller, left their home in Redlands on July 10, 1902, travelled cross-country to New York, then by steamer to the UK, through Europe to Moscow, then Palestine, Egypt, India, China, Japan, then finally to British Columbia and down the Pacific coast to return home in March, 1903. Fuller was a devout Presbyterian with evident prejudices, likening the barefoot poor of Warsaw to monkeys (p. 63). The fourth and last son of Henry and Helen Day Fuller was Charles E. Fuller (1887-1968), Christian clergyman and radio evangelist who gained renown as the radio host of The Old Fashioned Revival Hour, and was the founder of the Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California.
