Humility and hospitality amid stagecoach travel in early letters
An anecdote recalls Dr. Heman Humphrey, president of Amherst College, giving his seat to a woman on a full stagecoach, earning praise as a true gentleman. The passage shifts to Civil War era notices about Gen. Burnside, Stoneman, and Butler, plus a note on horse salt experiments showing high mortality from scalding or saline feed among livestock.
