Excerpt from A Trip Through Headline Land Stranger - All this is true, we have noted these things from Saturn, while most of your own people are blind to them. This regrettable condition, which amounts to depriving America of its own intellect and its own knowledge, seems to have arisen partly because your newspapers are content to take second-hand carbon copy versions of the news of the rest of the world from English correspondents, and partly because your magazines are snobbish enough to consider any little loose-thinking, unreliable English publicist a great authority, for whose articles they scramble, while rejecting the writings of American students.

Excerpt from Through Cities and Prairie Lands: Sketches of an American Tour IT is the grey dawn of a July day; we are up with the sun, nay, before the sun, eager to start on our first Atlantic voyage. In order to avoid the hurry and bustle Of a crowded Liverpool hotel, I and my com panion, for we are two, had resolved to start by the first train, and go direct on board. Therefore, at Six O'clock on this bright July morning, we arrive at Euston Square station, and there find a host of friends, who, in spite Of the early hour, have gathered to bid us God Speed. They are all gift-laden; one brings books and bonbons, another a basket Of rich ripe straw berries, then a patent corkscrew and telescope is thrust into my hand, and last, though not least, just as the train is moving out Of the station, one late arrival breathlessly gasps Good-bye and fiings a packet Of pins, a box Of matches, and a cake of scented soap in at the window.

Excerpt from Two Thousand Miles Through Story Land Some folks still think of the Hills as a wild region where Indians put on war paint, cow boys shoot up the town, and holdups and scalping parties are still in vogue, as in the early days of Calamity Jane. We reach Deadwood, that once wicked city, at about '9 p. M. And, of course, wonder if we will be waylaid before a lodging place can be found, but happily, we do not find it such a. Bad city after all. We soon find comfortable quarters and sleep, only to be awakened by Old Sol dashing a ray of gold into our face. A splendid breakfast and we are hustling to see the sights, and they were many and charming. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Twenty Thousand Miles by Land and Sea After Charles Dickens had visited Niagara Falls, and Viewed them from Table Rock, he wrote Then when I felt how near to my Creator I was standing, the, first effect, and enduring one - the instant and the lasting - of the tremendous spectacle was peace - peace of mind, tranquillity, calm recollections of the dead, great thoughts of eternal rest and happiness, nothing of gloom or terror. Niagara was at once stamped upon my heart an image of beauty to remain there changeless and indelible until its pulses'zcease to beat forever. And it is sublime ly true, you cannot rob a man of What he has seen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from In Brightest Summer Land His present guests had arrived at his home the evening before, and in thus visiting him had only entered upon a plan long since matured, that the three would pass a summer vacation together in Eastern Massachusetts and upon the seacoast. The Missourian had never as yet looked upon ocean waters and, while the nephew had no such lack of experience in this direction, he really knew but little of ocean shores, his entire acquaintance with salt water and its belongings having been attained through less than half a dozen brief winter visits to the cities of New York and Boston. And now, with cares and responsibilities thrown aside, or shifted temporarily to other shoulders, and with that eager longing for natural scenes and for intimate connection with new localities and events out of doors which every mortal experiences with the advent of summer, these (for the time being) emancipated slaves, the one from his mines, the other from his studies, and the third from his counting room, were ready to come down to the level of nature, - to scrape and scratch in the sand; to roam and dawdle in the woods; to wallow in the swamps; to paddle in the creeks or on the bavs and harbors; to turn Indian and live in the Open air, and upon food wrested by their own hands and ingenuity from woods and waters and gravelly shores to wander up and down exploring, investigating, discovering, noting, and, above all, enjoying. Each had a standpoint from which he proposed to act, and each an object which he pro posed to attain; and, although these objects aggregated may have been alike only in being equally intangible, there was nothing in their differences which prevented perfect harmony in the pursuits of the actors. As Mr. Malcolm closed his half-explanatory, half-eulogistic reference to the merits of Boston, the Missourian cast a hasty and somewhat impatient glance out at window, in the direction where the outspread waters of Dorchester Bay were shimmering in the clear sunlight, the green and gray island and mainland shores forming most beautiful setting for this gem of ocean views.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions—now with a new Afterword by the author. #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, O: The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, The New York Public Library, Fortune, Smithsonian Magazine, Marie Claire, Slate, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews Winner of the Carl Sandberg Literary Award • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • National Book Award Longlist • National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist • Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist • PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlist • Kirkus Prize Finalist “As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.” In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched, and beautifully written narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their outcasting of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity. Original and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.
Excerpt from The Vacationers' Story of Their Trip From East to West and Home Again We crossed Illinois during the night and on awaking early Monday, saw the full moon shining on the Father of Waters, the noble Mississippi. The C. B. Q. Follows the river for three hundred miles, through Illinois, Wisconsin and into Minnesota. Though much of the trip was made at night, enough of the river was seen by daylight to convince us that its beautiful and diversified scenery has not been sufficiently exploited. With its steep bluffs, its many wooded islands, its odd shaped bays and lakes and its feathery foliaged trees, it combines the beauties of the Hudson and Lake George with those of tropical rivers; and the queer crafts which ride its waters aroused our curiosity, so different were they from those of New York State.
