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.

Stylish, Comfortable, and GQ-Approved

I bought these Cole Haan Grandsport Journey Knit shoes for my husband, and he absolutely loves them. They’re stylish and really complete his outfits — very GQ vibes. He says they’re extremely comfortable on his feet and easy to wear all day. Great look, great fit, and definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

Extremely comfortable
Size: 10.5, Color: Navy Ink/Woodbury
As a manager for a very large corporate office campus, I do a LOT of walking. These shoes are a life saver. They look good, are comfortable, and so far, very durable. There are a lot of tile floors on this campus and when the shoes were new, they were a bit squeaky due to the soles adhering to the floors. Now they are as quiet as can be. I like them so much I asked for a pair in brown for Christmas - also awesome!

Stylish, comfortable, and a great price.

Can't beat the quality at this price. This is my 2nd pair, my last pair (in brown) lasting almost 3 years as a work shoe in a dusty warehouse. Nice and light. Fitment is true to size. Very good looking and comfortable shoe. I suggest insoles as the soles are a little thin and can be rough on a bad back. And they squeak on the floor after they age. But again, for the price you can't beat these shoes. Did, would, and will buy again.
