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.Binding Type: Paperback

Great shorts at a great price!
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
Great shorts for a great price. Needed to replace a few pairs of my gym shorts but didn’t want to spend $40+ on a pair. Found these and decided to give them a try. Since getting my first pair I’ve bought 4 more in different colors and have been wearing them daily. They fit great, true to size. Love the zippered pockets so I’m keeping my phone & wallet secure. Extremely lightweight & fast drying. These work great for gym or just casual shorts. 10/10 would recommend.

Nice shorts, fabrics thin but a great fit.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Light Green, Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Light Green
These are nice shorts, free flowing thin but not too thin. Feel nice wearing, easy to move around in them.
I like the zipper pockets, things don’t fall out of my pockets now when driving or hiking.
These are great wearing while walking, hiking or jogging, really durable. Material is thinner than I’m use to but still nice.
These have nice elastic waistband plus a tie, I like this.
These are great wearing while playing basketball, has nice are flow and lets skin breath.

Great, comfortable athletic wear. As comfortable as boxers.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Olive
These are my new favorite shorts. The fabric is durable, but light and breathable. The waistband is comfortable, and the drawstrings are good quality. I like the zippers on the pockets, which are also good quality, and are easy to grasp thanks to a rubber coating. There's also no static cling with these shorts, like what I get from the polyester shorts from wallyworld. If I had to nitpick, it would be concerning the design/fit of the front of the shorts. There's no pleat, or crotch, and this creates a slight "poochy" look, this also makes them more roomy, and easy to move around in though as well. I liked them enough to buy 4 more pair, and that's all you need to know. They wash well, and don't shrink.

Must have! Buy in every color
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Green Camo
Great shorts for the price. The quality comfort and size are all great! We were surprised with how well made these are for the cost and my husband ended up getting multiple pair in different colors. We have only had them for a week or so now so I’m not sure how durable they are long term but from the feel, they seem as they will last. Zipper pockets are the best part as he is active and also likes having zipped pockets when traveling, coaching, etc.
