Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hoosier in Honduras It was the writers intention to impose this work on the public without the formality of a preface. It seemed bad enough as it was, but certain critical friends declared it would never do, "You must offer some excuse," they insisted, "for writing a book at all, the people have not asked for it and it is no more than right they should have an explanation of the motive that prompted so reckless an undertaking." I, therefore, began looking over a lot of books, ancient and modern, hoping to find something to copy and save any further trouble, but when I saw that most writers devoted the space under this heading to giving credit to certain other writers whose works they had filched to produce their own, I said, "I'll never do it." The reader may pick out the stolen passages himself, and if his conscience is too sensitive to allow him to retain them - why, he can return them to their respective owners. I had enough trouble to steal them, and besides I can't remember now just where they belong, so if the dear reader can construe this into an apology, and feels any better satisfied thereby, the writer is very glad indeed, and feels more than paid for the exertion it has cost.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...by moving her bench four feet---actually not an inch more-she would come within the broad shadow of a mango tree through whose dense foliage scarcely a ray of light can pass. Even her parrot shows his intelligence by perching among its cooling shadows, while a cat lies asleep at its foot. It is so with everything else. It is simply lack of intelligence among the masses of the inhabitants that makes the first discovered country of America the last to be settled and civilized. No other country in the world can boast of greater natural resources or climatic advantages, not only surpassingly beautiful to the eye, but possessing a deep, rich soil, capable of producing (according to altitude) every fruit known to the tropic or temperate zones, to say nothing of vegetables and cereals, while its mineral wealth is beyond computation. Those who have given the subject careful consideration declare that the state of Honduras is without doubt one of the richest countries in the world; but leaving these two great sources of wealth entirely out of our calculation, her native woods alone will more than pay the national debt. The whole story is told in three words, lack of sense. Right across the street a man is sawing wood. He has a good saw, such as every American farmer owns. Can you immagine how, he uses this convenient tool? He holds it between his knees and rubs the sticks up and down over the sharp teeth until he can break them. This is a fair illustration of the way they do things down here. August 2.--Signs of improvement have been noted. Honduras is not without hope. At Truxillo three boys were discovered fighting over a game of marbles. At Puerto Cortez, a youngster was seen throwing at a dog, and at San Pedro a progressive youth was found..
