Excerpt from Petticoat Pilgrims on Trek Hopeless quests for a house all over Johannesburg resulted in our deciding upon camp-life once more, and here we are, and are trying to think it perfect. It isn't. It's horribly uncomfortable; but yet I can't be really miserable, because my imagination is so fed by life under canvas. One feels so Biblical and patriarchal, for one thing.

Excerpt from The Pilgrims First Year in New England In so many details of minor facts, it is well nigh impossible to avoid errors; but it is hoped that few of importance have escaped detection. When state ments are made, which have only probability for their basis, care has been taken to indicate this, so that they may be readily distinguished from what is supported by positive evidence.
