- Death Valley Scotty by Mabel, by Bessie Johnson. An account in Bessie's own words about what it was like to live alongside the famed Scotty in Death Valley. It is a charming book, but may lack historical objectivity as it was written for consumption by tourists at Scotty's Castle in the 1930s.

Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring classes.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“I loved reading, and had a great desire of attaining knowledge; but whenever I asked questions of any kind whatsoever, I was always told, “such things were not proper for girls of my age to know.”... For “Miss must not enquire too far into things, it would turn her brain; she had better mind her needlework, and such things as were useful for women; reading and poring on books would never get me a husband.””
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
