About This Item
Chicago: Union Book Company Book. VG. Soft cover. 1901, pp183-193, illustrated (generally only 1 or 2). Removed from WITH THE WORLD'S GREAT TRAVELLERS, Edited by Charles Morris and Oliver H.G. Leigh. May include a first or last copied page. VG. From the introduction: "J.Ross Browne, author of YUSEF, CRUSOE'S ISLAND, THE LAND OF THOR, etc., is well-known for the humorous vein of many of his productions. Such is the case with AN AMERICAN FAMILY IN GERMANY, from which we make the following selection. It is at once humorous and instructive. The extract given, however, is simply descriptive, having too much of interest in itself to need any adventitious aid. The mine described may serve in a measure as an artificial counterpart to our natural Mammoth Cave. Descent into the mine was made by means of a long rope with canvas straps for seats. There is a stairway cut in solid rock-salt but it is wet and slippery and the rope is usually chosen in preference.".
