Diary excerpt describes sunburn and river trip near Winnipeg
In a Winnipeg diary entry dated June 4 19, the author recounts a sunburn after a river excursion with Mr Arnold. She notes discomfort and retreat for the evening, teases about writing travel scenes in a Pullman sleeping car, and recalls travel details on the Canadian Pacific Railway including a porter’s courtesy and a gendered tip economy. A long memory of a boy named Ralph and an image of gauntlet-like danger frames the piece as reflective travel journalism.
