Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bits of Travel at Home Make your beds now, ladies? Said the chamber man, whose brown face showed brighter brown for his gray uniform and brass buttons. Yes, we replied. That is just what we most de sire to see. Presto! The seats of the arm-chairs pull out, and meet in the middle. The backs of the arm-chairs pull down, and lie flat on level with the seats. The sofa pulls out and Opens into double width. The roof of our drawing-room opens and lets down, and makes two more bedsteads, which we, luckily, do not want; but from under their eaves come mattresses, pillows, sheets, pil low-cases, and curtains. The beds are made; the roof shut up again; the curtains hung across the glass part of the doors the curtains drawn across the passage-way windows; the doors shut and locked; and we undress as entirely and safely as if we were in the best bedroom of a house not made with wheels. Because we are so comfortable we lie awake a little, but not long and that is the whole story of nights on the cars when the cars are built by Pullman and the sleeping is done in drawing I'ooms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souvenirs of Travel, Vol. 1 Some of her letters to her friends, written during the hurry of travel, were yet so graphic and attractive that they were given to the press; and being reproduced all through the country, excited an almost universal desire for the publication of a full account of her travels. Those friends who were admitted to her intimacies at home, he came aware what a rich mine of pleasing information, and interesting adventure, existed in the various memoranda she had made while in Europe. Their solicitations, and reiterated persuasions from literary friends in all parts of the Union, led to the preparation of this volume. The original journals and letters have been carefully revised by their author, additional memorials have been added, and many parts that in the original form necessarily partook largely of the personal and egotistic, have been omitted.

This book was released on 2016-12-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Maria Hunt Jackson, born Helen Fiske (October 15, 1830 - August 12, 1885), was an American poet and writer who became an activist on behalf of improved treatment of Native Americans by the U.S. government. She described the adverse effects of government actions in her history A Century of Dishonor (1881). Her novel Ramona (1884) dramatized the federal government's mistreatment of Native Americans in Southern California after the Mexican-American War and attracted considerable attention to her cause. Commercially popular, it was estimated to have been reprinted 300 times and most readers liked its romantic and picturesque qualities rather than its political content.The novel was so popular that it attracted many tourists to Southern California who wanted to see places from the book.She was born Helen Maria Fiske in Amherst, Massachusetts, the daughter of Nathan Welby Fiske and Deborah Waterman Vinal Fisk. Helen's father was a minister, author, and professor of Latin, Greek, and philosophy at Amherst College. She had two brothers, both of whom died soon after birth, and a sister Anne. They were raised as Unitarian.Anne became the wife of E. C. Banfield, a federal government official who served as Solicitor of the United States Treasury. The girls lost their mother in 1844, when Helen was fifteen. Three years later their father died. He had provided financially for Helen's education and arranged for an uncle to care for her. Fiske attended Ipswich Female Seminary and the Abbott Institute, a boarding school in New York City run by Reverend J.S.C. Abbott. She was a classmate of Emily Dickinson, also from Amherst; Emily became a renowned poet. The two corresponded for the rest of their lives, but few of their letters have surviveed.In 1852 at age 22, Fiske married U.S. Army Captain Edward Bissell Hunt. They had two sons, one of whom, Murray Hunt, died as an infant in 1854 of a brain disease. In 1863, her husband died in a military accident. Her second son Rennie Hunt died of diphtheria in 1865. Hunt traveled widely. In the winter of 1873-1874 she was in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the resort of Seven Falls, seeking rest in hopes of a cure for tuberculosis, which was often fatal before the invention of antibiotics. (See Tuberculosis treatment in Colorado Springs).While in Colorado Springs, Hunt met William Sharpless Jackson, a wealthy banker and railroad executive. They married in 1875 and she took the name Jackson, under which she was best known for her later writings.Helen Hunt began writing after the deaths of her family members. She published her early work anonymously, usually under the name "H.H."Ralph Waldo Emerson admired her poetry and used several of her poems in his public readings. He included five of them in his Parnassus: An Anthology of Poetry (1880). Over the next two years, she published three novels in the anonymous No Name Series, including Mercy Philbrick's Choice and Hetty's Strange History.She also encouraged a contribution from Emily Dickinson to A Masque of Poets as part of the same series.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vacationers' Story of Their Trip From East to West and Home Again We crossed Illinois during the night and on awaking early Monday, saw the full moon shining on the Father of Waters, the noble Mississippi. The C. B. Q. Follows the river for three hundred miles, through Illinois, Wisconsin and into Minnesota. Though much of the trip was made at night, enough of the river was seen by daylight to convince us that its beautiful and diversified scenery has not been sufficiently exploited. With its steep bluffs, its many wooded islands, its odd shaped bays and lakes and its feathery foliaged trees, it combines the beauties of the Hudson and Lake George with those of tropical rivers; and the queer crafts which ride its waters aroused our curiosity, so different were they from those of New York State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel, Reminiscences and Experiences But it was still more attractive in the sunny spring-time, when vessels, bound for tropical coun tries, glided on the tide, or in tow of the puffing, snorting, little tugs, down the E)be. My desire to go along was then often so strong that I could hardly conquer my inclination to run away from home to see the world. These scenes, so dear to me, worked in such a way upon my mind that it became my one ambition to leave Europe as soon as possible. During the day my thoughts were wandering about in different parts of our beautiful world, and at night, in pleasant dreams I found myself amid the forest, or on the plains of South and North America. When I quitted school I was scarcely fourteen years of age, but in spite of my youth I would have left Europe at once with pleasure. In Germany no one will admit self-reliance to be a virtue in young people, and all elderly persons insist that they must be guided exactly as little children. In my family the same idea prevailed, and an aversion to causing trouble by any act of mine, determined me to submit to the wishes of my people, and to accept' the position of an apprentice to a commercial firm.
