Description

The Higher Trip may be the enthralling, inspiring—and so far, untold—story of the daring National designers, authors, physicians, politicians, designers, and others of high desire who trigger for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, driven to shine within their work. After jeopardizing the dangerous journey over the Atlantic, these Americans started on the higher journey within the City of Light. Many had never left home, never experienced another tradition. None had any promise of success.
