Edwin Asa Dix (1860-1911) was a lesser-known American author and educator, whose contributions to literature often reflected his varied interests in travel and foreign cultures. Born in Glens Falls, New York, Dix graduated from Princeton University in 1880. His intellect and academic excellence in the realms of language and literature led him to an esteemed teaching role at his alma mater. Despite his more private life and limited fame, Dix's work as a storyteller and observer of cultural nuances are evidenced in his travelogue, 'A Midsummer Drive Through the Pyrenees' (1890). This text is an introspective journey that explores the geography, people, and customs of a less trodden path through the Pyrenees. Dix's literary style marries the methodical observations of a scholar with the poetic reflections of a traveler who immerses himself in the environments he traverses. His prose holds vivid descriptions and thoughtful commentaries that have afforded his writings a place in the niche circles of early travel writing aficionados. Though Dix was not prolific, and his works remain fairly obscure, 'A Midsummer Drive Through the Pyrenees' stands as a testament to his ability to capture the profound beauty and complex culture of regions unexplored by the typical tourist of his time.
