Excerpt from An Unattended Journey, or Ten Thousand Miles by Rail
There is a Celtic legend which relates that in the golden age of chivalry a maiden, unattended and bearing a wand in her hand surmounted by a diamond of great price, walked unharmed through the length and breadth of Ireland. This legend is cherished by all loyal Celts as an illustration of the courage and purity of their women and of the honor and honesty of their men.
In these modern days it would be rash for us to boast that such an experience could find a duplicate, yet, in a sense, it is duplicated in a great many instances every week in every month of every year. The environment is of course different, but in this little story of a spring time journey, we may find set down the experiences of four young ladies who crossed the continent unattended by male escort and met on every hand most courteous treatment and most kindly counsel and found in all their travels no one to molest them or to make them afraid.
Such a journey as that, the incidents of which are here recorded, can be taken at any time by anybody and so thoroughly systematized are the methods of transportation and so perfect the arrangements for personal safety and comfort that a truthful relation of the experiences of any one tour may be taken as a faithful representation of what every one may expect to experience under like circumstances.
Faithfulness in the statement of facts is claimed for this narrative and the reader of this little book can rely on the accuracy of what is herein set down.
