Books with author Elizabeth Simpson Smith

Excerpt from A Wanderer's Journal, 1889Dec. 7t/l. - We started for Washington, via Buffalo, N. Y. Where we stayed all night, at the Tifft House. Here we stopped in 1883, with father, on our way from the sea-shore. I amused myself part of the time, by watching the people passing, in sleighs, and on foot, through the falling snow, there being good sleighing. In. Going we crossed the new bridge over the Niagara river: The bells on the horses sounded so much like cow-bells that we were quite merry as we drove through the streets from the hotel.Dec. - We rode in a sleigh to the station of the Erie railroad, which we took as far as Elmira, N. Y., where we changed for the Lehigh Valley railroad. The Pullman cars are commodious. But sleeping for me being almost an impossibility in a car, I peered nearly all night into the darkness; and could sometimes see the steep inclines, down which the cars sped with an un steady motion, that impelled me to offer little petitions for safety.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
