Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Crescent City to the Golden Gate Via the Sunset Route of the Southern Pacific Company Oh! The Sunset Route, surely. Indeed, it is, in my opinion, the only route one should take during the winter months. I prefer it over all the others at all times of the year, even. It is below the snow line, you know, and is built in a very superior manner; it has the most excellent eating-houses of any of the trans continental lines, makes good time, runs through a thousand kinds of country, presenting a greater variety of scenery than any other route, and has the reputation of taking you into Los Angeles or San Francisco on time, to a second, and always without a scratch. It is a marvellously nice thing, my boy, to crawl into your section every night, while skipping across the country at the rate of from twenty-five to thirty-five miles an hour, and feel that same degree of safety one feels upon retiring in his own house. I can see at once, from what you say, that we should make a mistake in going by any other route, at least at this time of the year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Years Within the Golden Gate The northern part of the great valley above mentioned is drained by the Sacramento river and its tributaries. The southern part is watered, but less effectually, by the San Joaquin stream, which also receives a number of subordinate feeders. Both these main rivers, ap preaching each other for some distance, at length mingle their waters at a point nearlv midway in the great valley, a little distance above San Francisco, through the noble bay of which, so denominated, they finally escape to the ocean. The bay itself is about seventy miles long by fifteen broad, being, at the entrance, narrowed into a channel only about a mile broad, but fully five long, through which its waters escape in a current at the entrance, as the tide ebbs and ows to and from the ocean. But for that channel or strait, the inner waters would remain like a noble lake. This channel or strait, from the western side of the bay, passes on the northern shore between high promontories, which gradually ascend to the Coast Range Mountains, and in the same manner on the Opposite side to the bold but less elevated coast on the south.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Motor to the Golden Gate "Qui s'excuse s'accuse." Which, I suppose, proves this a defence to start with! But having been a few times accused, there are a few explanations I want very much to make. When this cross-continent story was first suggested, it seemed the simplest sort of thing to undertake. All that was necessary was to put down experiences as they actually occurred. No imagination, or plot or characterization - could anything be easier? But when the serial was published and letters began coming in, it became unhappily evident that writing fact must be one of the most unattainably difficult accomplishments in the world. In the first place, only those who, having lived long in a particular locality and knowing it in all its varying seasons, are qualified truly to present its picture. The observations of a transient tourist are necessarily superficial, as of one whose experiences are merely a series of instantaneous impressions; at one time colored perhaps too vividly, at another fogged; according to the sun or rain at one brief moment of time. It would be very pleasant to write nothing but eulogies of people and places, but after all if a personal narrative were written like an advertisement, praising everything, there would be no point in praising anything, would there?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Gate Fleeta had troops of friends, and often went to gay parties, where the girls danced gracefully, and swung their beautiful dresses daintily, and felt quite like little women; where the boys bowed like princes, and slipped pretty confec tions or flowers into the hands of the maidens they liked best and where brilliant lights and gay music kept the party awake long after their young eyes should have been closed in sleep. On the other hand, Gretchen's friends were very few. Her companions were the children of the street, whose wicked words often made her tremble, though she would sometimes wind her thin arm about some tattered little shoulder, and whisper that it was wicked to swear, and that mother said God wished everybody to be gentle and good. Both of the little girls had heard the blessed lesson which the Son of God taught, and IS ever teaching, to the sons of men. There are no rich and poor in His school, and whether Fleta was shown in her gilded Bible the words. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Golden Gate It gives me pleasure to introduce the subject of this sketch. In the providence of God I was twice entertained in the home of his parents, as I held revival services in Sioux City, Iowa. Although at that time he did not claim to be a Christian, yet he was so very dutiful and obedient to his parents - marks which are so much wanting in the lives of so many boys these days. One thing that has lingered with me since my first acquaintance with Brenton is this: although he was a real boy, and enjoyed a romp and fun like other boys, yet he would never intrude himself on my time. The very mo ment of any indication that I was through having fun with him, that moment he would cease, and never hint that he wanted more, till he could see me advance in that direction. This was so uncommon with the general run of children that it made a lasting impression upon my mind. I am now holding revival meetings (may 1920) for the third time with his father. Since I saw Brenton last he has been converted and sanctified, and has slipped away to be with Jesus forever. The home does not seem the same without him. While the home is poorer, heaven ls richer. I went out to the silent grave, in company with his father. What a beautiful place nature has provided on that lovely hillside overlooking the Golden Gate! It is one of the beauty spots of earth. Around the grave on the greensward we knelt and asked the Lord to help us to hold out faithful to the end. Some glad day, when Jesus appears in the clouds, Bren ton's body will arise from the dust and together with loved ones all shall be for ever with their Lord. Let us all so live that we may be ready to meet him on that bright morning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Gate and Back: Travel Letters Grand Canyon, Arizona, May 9, 1913. - Shortly after Mrs. Smith and I returned from the Pacific coast two years ago, I met an acquaintance who greeted me by saying, Well, I read your pieces in the paper. A good many times the Agitator has opened its gracious columns to me, and numerous friends have been kind enough to say nice things re garding my letters of travel. It is doubtless true that many people, whether they themselves have trav cled or mostly stop at home, enjoy -descriptions of faraway scene-s, and of lands that differ from their own. I like to feel that not only my friends but also others whom I have never met, do me the honor to read what I find pleasure in writing. And so I am going to talk to you all again through the paper, and I begin with this toast. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
