The South American Tour
PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for...

Women of the Four Winds
Annie Smith Peck attempted seven times to climb Peru's highest mountain; Delia Akeley hunted big game in Africa; Marguerite Harrison spied in Russia for America; Louise Arner Boyd led expeditions to perilous East Greenland. Precursors of the modern Jane Goodalls and Sally Rides, these women represent a fascinating but forgotten era in the literature of exploration.
The American Women's Rights Movement
More than 140 entries in this book depict events which have had lasting national significance in opening opportunities in the struggle for equal civil rights and opportunities for women. The impact of many of the included events was initially felt on a local level; but in time it created repercussions that spread across the country. These stories show women assuming roles of providers and heads of households, and their leadership, exerted in and outside the home, would often manifest in the community at large and, in turn, in the nation and in the world. The book is divided into four parts: OneThe Seeds Are planted; Two19th CenturyThe Movement Takes Root; Three20th CenturyReaching for the Sunlight; Four21st CenturyComing into Full Bloom. The book begins with Anne Hutchinson and Mary Dyer and ends with Condoleezza Rice, Nan
Uncommon Glory: the First Ascent of Huascarán (Annotated)
This is the remarkable account of the first ascent of Mt. Huascar�n in Peru in 1908. It is a story of the great suffering and determination of one of the most famous mountaineers of her time, Annie Smith Peck (1850 - 1935).She recounts in detail her multiple attempts to conquer Huascar�n with Peruvian and Swiss guides. With the simple equipment of the day, Peck persisted through setback after setback, until she finally set foot on the summit of "her mountain."Told with great wit, this is an inspiring story for all and a gritty memoir for those who love tales of mountaineering. Peck kept climbing mountains well into her senior years, including a first ascent of one of the peaks on the five peaked Mount Coropuna in Peru in 1911 when she was 65. Her last climb was Mount Madison (New Hampshire) at the age of 82.
