Stepping Stones

Mabel Heath Palmer

4.9/5 (32085 ratings)

Description:This is a series of stories complied from some of my various experiences, covering a period of over thirty-eight years, that I have from time to time, jotted down in my notebook. These notes were collected for the purposed of recalling certain circumstances which, at their time, seemed to absorb my whole life - for I lived with these people and in these places; I have been an intricate part of their lives, and they of mine. Before our travels to distant parts of the world, we studied at length the geography, history, and legendary lore of each country; we felt it a blessed privilege to travel; we wanted to live with the people we were to visit; and so it was quite natural then to add my own observations to the material already studied. At no time did I anticipate writing a book. My sole desire during our travels was to bring home to my family and friends some idea of the pleasures we were enjoying, and some of the understanding we had acquired. The other incidents were just jotted down so that I could accurately recall them in the future. From time to time, I have been requested to put these stories together, but I always felt that , being based on true experiences, they were too personal to be of much import to others; and few people, I thot, would care what impressed me or what may have seemed to me to be anything unusual. However, last winter when B.J. and Dave wanted me to write out these notes, as certain places covered were not in the limelight, it was necessary to type them - my own unreadable shorthand being sort of heiroglyphical in character. During the long winter evenings, friends dropping in to call would find me working away at my typewriter. I tried to tuck the material out of sight, but they would say, "So at last you are really putting some of your stories together!" And so persuasive were they that soon I would find myself reading those at hand. They, in turn, urged me to have them printed for them. As you will note, some of these experiences were on sea, some in far distant lands, while others are just homey observations in my daily life.from PrefaceMabel Heath PalmerWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
