From the pen of one of Amherst, Massachusetts's most important women comes an intriguing glimpse into the nineteenth century. Twice, Orra White Hitchcock traveled with her husband, Edward, a famous geologist and president of Amherst College. She kept meticulous diary entries of their journeys, observing with wit and frankness the people and places she encountered. Orra writes behind-the-scenes accounts of a scientific conference in Edinburgh and of a visit with some of the century's most notable contemporary scientists in London. She describes in stunning and honest detail Sunday services, an international antiwar congress in Frankfurt, and slavery on the streets of Richmond, Virginia. Because she was an open-minded woman, her pages are rich in entertaining stories of botanical gardens, public entertainments, and the shops of London and Paris. She also indulges the reader with romantic descriptions of memorable landscapes in Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, and Switzerland. Spanning the ocean from America to Europe, Orra's never-before-published travel journals offer a vivid, inside look at one woman's unique experiences in a world moving toward modernity.

Nice Casual Dress Shirt
Color: Olive Green, Size: XX-Large
I own a few of these, and they’re really nice and comfortable. I was surprised by how heavy the fabric was, but overall, they make a great casual dress shirt.

No problem drying this shirt in a dryer at ultra-low setting
Simply an excellent shirt. The fabric feels soft to the skin, and is an ideal shirt in cool to colder weather. The fabric breathes nicely and does not make you sweat. The large 34-35 sleeve size I purchased is an exact fit. The fabric is slightly stretchy which is nice. I washed it in cold water, and dried it in an electric dryer at an ultra-low setting for 30 minutes and it came out perfect. No iron needed. No shrinkage. The label tells you not to dry the shirt in a dryer. I had no problems drying this shirt at the ultra-low setting! The fabric is 65% polyester, 30% viscose, 5% spandex. I bought 2 more of these excellent shirts.
