Moss From A Rolling Stone: Or Moorish Wanderings And Rambling Reminiscences is a travelogue written by Charles Alfred Payton and first published in 1879. The book recounts Payton’s experiences as he travels through various parts of North Africa, including Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. The title of the book refers to Payton’s own wandering lifestyle, as he describes himself as a ''rolling stone'' who never stays in one place for too long.Throughout the book, Payton provides detailed descriptions of the people, landscapes, and cultures he encounters on his travels. He also shares anecdotes and stories from his own experiences, including encounters with bandits, visits to ancient ruins, and interactions with locals.One of the main themes of the book is Payton’s fascination with the Islamic culture and architecture of North Africa. He spends a significant amount of time exploring mosques, palaces, and other Islamic buildings, and provides detailed descriptions of their intricate designs and decorations.Overall, Moss From A Rolling Stone offers a unique perspective on North Africa during the late 19th century, and provides readers with a glimpse into the life of a wandering adventurer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
