Author Description

Excerpt from Stray Bits From the Orient: Experiences of an American in Hindostan; What She Saw, Heard and Learned Early in the spring Of 1883, during one of my trips in the sunny Southland, I chanced to be one of a select party, formed for the purpose Of crossing St. Augustine Bay, and spending the afternoon and evening (for we were to return by moonlight) on the beautiful beach Of Anastasia Island. Never, while memory lasts, shall I forget that day and all it brought to me. Any one of my readers who may have visited the spot, knows it to be one. Of the most charming places in all the Southland.
