Excerpt from Travels With Jottings: From Midland to the Pacific I had the pleasure of. Meeting Governor St. John. He is a gentleman of the size and general appearance of our Gov. Smith. He commands the' confidence of his people much as even Gov. Smith does ours. In conversing with him, upon the exodus of the colored people, he remarked that those who had come to Kansas, as a whole, were getting a living, and that the transfer of the freedmen at the South to the North had but just begun, that their knowledge of their rights and opportunities in this direction was universal throughout all their circles in the South. The prospects of Kansas seem to be of the most flattering kind at the present time. Our journey through her length. Via the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad, was superb; good cars, good track, good eating-houses and polite conductors.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from To the Pacific and Back These letters were commenced as we started on our trip across the continent, with no idea of their continuance, but they met with favor at home, and the pleasure of sharing with my children the im pressions stamped upon my own mind by the various scenes that we passed through, and the relief afforded to the monotony of many an other wise weary hour, induced me to persevere. Upon our return we found that all of the little penciled leaves had been kept intact, but were exceedingly inconvenient for ready reference; hence their appearance in this form, supplemented by some of my husband's letters, which fill gaps occurring in my own, portions referring to merely personal matters being omitted. I dedicate this little volume to my children, to whom the letters were originally addressed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Pearls of the Pacific It is worth much to one to rest through days like these; to feel that the cares, and perhaps the sorrows, of every-day life are, for a time at all events, losing their sting; that you are leaving behind the dust of the world's highways, with their oceans of grief and tiny islets of human happiness; and that you are drifting in delicious leisure to some long-wished - for haven, which even yet borders on the realms of dream - land.

Excerpt from Wednesday the Tenth: A Tale of the South Pacific On the eighteenth day out from Sydney, we were cruising under the lee of Erromanga - of course you know Erromanga, an isolated island between the New Hebrides and the Loyalty group - when suddenly our dusky Polynesian boy, Nassaline, who was at the masthead on the lookout, gave a surprised cry of "Boat ahoy!" and pointed with his skinny black finger to a dark dot away southward on the horizon, in the direction of Fiji. I strained my eyes and saw - well, a barrel or something. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Log of an Island Wanderer: Notes of Travel in the Eastern Pacific Maybe the climate has something to do with it. The Auckland climate is, during the major portion Of the year, the softest, warmest, gentlest thing imaginable. It is as mild as the kiss of a curate on the Cheek Of a spinster. To realise it adequately you should Cling passionately to something and think Of crushed strawberries. I know not whether holiness is Of the line and plummet, but if it be, Auckland is contracting for a race of angels.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pacific Tales Right in front of the village ran a sweeping curve of yellow beach, with here and there a clump of rocks, whose black, jagged outlines were covered with mantles of creepers and vines green and yellow, in which at night-time the snow-white tropic birds came to roost with clamorous note. Back from the beach stood groves of pandanus and breadfruit and coconuts, whose branches sang merrily all day long to the sweep of the whistling trade wind, but drooped languidly at sunset when it died away.
