Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Buckeye Abroad: Or Wanderings in Europe, and in the Orient A book of travels is no longer a book of marvels. There remains but small portions of terra incognita. Asia and the Americas are pouring in their tributes to the curiosity of this locomotive age. Africa, even, in the page of Cummings and others, peers from behind her veil of mystery, and the Arctics are melting their frigid bonds, to flow in the channels of literature. The only merit reserved for a volume of travels is, either that the ground is untrodden, or that the mode of observation is new and peculiar. The author can lay no claim to the former. Something may be conceded to him, from the fact imported by the title - A Buckeye Abroad. A native of the west, and of that part, familiarly known as the Buckeye State, - may be supposed with to look upon the scenes and mingle with the throngs of the Old World with new and peculiar sensations, which may find sympathy, if not with the general reader, at least with readers in Ohio. Indeed it was such an interest at home that called for the revision and the publication of these passages of travel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carmen Sylva: And Sketches From the Orient During my wanderings, I once chanced to spend a few days with a fairy, in an enchanted castle. The distant sound of a horn in the forest depths invariably brings back to my mind the most trivial incidents of this visit. The reason was that the fairy's castle lay in the very heart of a densely wooded forest in which the distant blasts of martial trumpets were constantly heard resounding on every side. There was a strange, weird melancholy of its own about the sound, resembling some magic call, in the vibrant air we breathed, - the silent, pure, invigorating air of the mountain peaks. . . .

I could hear the angry Sea of Marmora beating Violently against the coast, as if it would fain annihilate with its liquid force the solidness of the earth. And the rain, imitat ing the sea, was beating mightily against the window-panes, while the wind was forcing the tall, stalwart pines, to bend humbly to the earth. Half of the elements were doing violence to the other half - as if they were Greeks destroying the Turks, or Turks oppressing the Greeks.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From America to the Orient In Summing up our experiences during this three months' Journey to Europe and the Orient, there would probably be a consensus of opinion on these points: First, that there are no difficulties O'i travel in the Civilized portions Of Greece varying much from those Of other European countries. The whole Of Greece, where open for travel, is safe for parties, and the most Of it for individuals. Second, the methods Of travel in the interior of Palestine are wholly different from those known to tourists in civilized lands. Travelers must go in parties with a sufficient number Of honest native attendants, and camp at night under the protection Of the sheik or governor Of the locality. There is much fatigue and some danger from accidents in making the camping tour from Jerusalem northward; and while the strong and the prudent may undertake this risk, it is not Wise for the invalid nor the extremely nerv ous to do so. Third, Egypt should be visited be fore the heat Oi the Spring arrives, and the earlier the better. It is doubtful if any trip up the Nile can be made with comfort after the twentieth day of March. But Palestine, because Of the latter rains Of late. March and early April, ought not to be reached until April tenth, at least. The illustrations are nearly all from photographs taken on the spot by members Of the party and are credited under each picture to the artist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in the Orient We feel that it has been a privilege before visiting other lands, to have again first traversed our own, getting a bird's-eye view for comparison with the foreign countries we shall visit. We left San Francisco bay at night, and by morning were crossing the trackless wastes of the Mojave desert. For one day we traversed the land of the coyote and the red man. "Lo, the poor Indian," is showing in many ways the effects of civilization; some of them have comfortable, square stone houses, with books, shaded lamps, lace curtains, etc. The men take care of the babies in some cases while the women go out into the market-place, - which is the railroad station, -to sell bead work and gaudy blankets to the tourists, so in some respects they have even gone a step in advance of the white men and the woman-suffragists. But the white people are beginning to realize the possibilities of this seemingly desert land, and occasionally we saw the shack of the hardy homeseeker. If our government would only spend on this productive land the money it will spend on dreadnoughts in the next ten years how many families would be given comfortable farms, and what an enormous asset would be added to the nation. Now we come to the prosperous states of Colorado and Kansas; the land of corn and wheat. Monotonous in their sameness arc the states of Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio. Then we came to the hills and finally mountains, and found ourselves in historic ground. Occasionally we saw the old hewn-log houses of the pioneers of our country, some of them still inhabited. In "Maryland, My Maryland," we crossed the river at Harper's Ferry, where "John Brown's body lies a mouldering in the grave." Soon we came to Washington, the city of a thousand interests to the patriotic American. We went to the Capitol and sat in the gallery of the House, listening to the debate of the wise men concerning Canadian reciprocity.

The spirit that finally culminated in a declaration of war in 1882 against Britain, and an appeal to arms was felt every day, in the bazaars, mosques, and other public places. Rumours of war were heard everywhere. The Mahommedans concealed their fierce hatred and haughty insolence by the thinnest veil, and only the fear of death restrained them from murder. Then it needed the utmost caution to visit Egypt in safety. To my congregation I feel grateful for their liberality, and also to a few intimate friends, by whose aid I have been enabled to realize one of my life desires.
