From the preface: 'Mr Woodrow Wilson late President of the United States is shown to have said:- "Yesterday" he writes from Gloucester "I rode for nearly twenty miles beside the Wye and of all the parts of England I have seen it has most won my heart."' An illness struck Wilson in 1896 and he spent the two following months cycling around Britain visiting the landscapes that inspired Wordsworth. Bibliographical References: Woodrow Wilson; Life and Letters: Princeton 1890-1910 ed. Ray Stannard Baker · 1968 "I think and I have quite made up my mind to make a pilgrimage to the region where the 'Lines' were written . . "Yesterday I rode for nearly twenty miles beside the Wye and of all the parts of England I have seen it has most won my heart". J. W. Schulte Nordholt in his biography of Woodrow Wilson 'Woodrow Wilson A Life for World Peace' published in 1991 by University of California Press states: "Because so much data have been lost uncertainty rules what we know and understand about the serious illness that struck Wilson in 1896… His loving wife believed too that it was good for him to go away and gave her approval. He spent two months travelling through his beloved England mostly on a bicycle. He visited all the shrines of his romantic imagination. Most important of course were the landscapes that had inspired Wordsworth the Lake District and The Wye Valley… It was a delightful trip that did him enormous good for he lived by such poetic contemplation. He came back with his health greatly improved." Harold Garnet Black The True Woodrow Wilson Crusader for Democracy 1946 Edwin A. Wienstein: Woodrow Wilson: A Medical and Psychological Biography. Princeton Princeton University Press 1981. "Wilson suffered his first stroke in 1896 at the age of 40 an episode characterized by weakness of the right upper extremity and sensory disturbances in the fingers misdiagnosed as neuritis."
