Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My First Holiday: Or Letters Home From Colorado, Utah, and California In the spring of 1880, several physicians in different localities agreed in thinking that I ought to take a long journey. When it was found that I could not go to Europe, California was suggested; and not only was its moderate, equal climate praised and pressed upon my consideration, but the facilities of travel were urged. I was told that I should not find the journey fatiguing, and that for a reasonable fee I should obtain devoted service and all needful accessions to comfort, - such as hot water and well kept dressing-rooms all along the way. I thought I might as well start for the moon; but it proved unexpectedly possible, and so I had seven months of unadulterated pleasure. I could not write to my friends during my rapid transit from Colorado to Utah, and from Utah to California, and up and down its length and breadth. My seven months of pleasure, however, did not bring the climate that was promised; nor did I find it easy to travel alone beyond the Rocky Mountains. On the contrary, for the first time, I found myself commanding neither attention nor respect on the ground of simple womanhood.
