No full text27 pages. This book describes Nellie Cashman's early life and various travels and ventures in California, Arizona, Yukon, and Alaska. Excerpt from the book: "Nellie Cashman led an humble life. Her principal business was to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless, and her chief divertisement was to relieve those in distress and to care for the sick and afflicated. She persisted in good deeds through half a century, and her helpful activities were distributed over a broad field which extended from the arid deserts of Mexico to the bleak and inhospitable regions within the Arctic Circle. She was inclined to associate more generally with men than with members of our own sex, and on several occasions she joined in stampedes with men, tramping with them over rugged trails and sharing the vicissitudes and discomforts of their rude camps.

No full text4 pages. Excerpt from the book: "While the newspapers have very properly had considerable to say concerning the man selected to head the University, one year hence, very little has been said about the man chosen to preside over its destiny during the present year. In fact, the readers of one of our broad-minded local newspapers are still wondering whether the affairs of the University this year are to be administered by the janitor or by "absent treatment." Of course many people in Arizona are personally acquainted with Dr. Cummings. Many others know of him and his work.
