Minnie Emily Eaton (1866-1954) Missionary to Sierra Leone, West Africa.
Minnie Emily Eaton was born in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, December 3, 1866. Minnie was the daughter of Alonzo C. Eaton and Julia Florentine Weller. She died January 19, 1954 in Pomona, Los Angeles County, CA at 87 years of age. Her body was interred January 22, 1954 in Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier, California. Minnie Eaton was educated at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio. In 1887 her father brought the family by train from Ohio to San Diego and then by wagon to homestead near Valley Center in San Diego County. She taught school for a short time in San Diego County. On July 10, 1892 by letter of transfer she became a member of First Church of the United Brethren in Christ of Los Angeles and remained a member there the rest of her life. Miss Eaton was a missionary to Sierra Leone, West Africa for 44 years and her first term was from 1894 to 1898. During that term she was assigned to work in Rotifunk. Early in 1898 when she landed by ship in New York for her first furlough, she received news that every missionary with whom she had worked, save one, had been slain in a furious native uprising over a hut tax the English had put on the natives. Many would have feared to return but in 1900 she returned as a teacher at Moyamba. She was sent to Tiama where two missionaries had been taken to a rock in the middle of the river and beheaded. Miss Eaton was a courageous woman and although small in size was so great in soul that she commanded respect of the natives. When she witnessed the destruction and saw the black rock where her friends were slain, she directed the natives to break that rock and haul it to the shore, and then build a new church as a memorial to those who had given their lives.

Thailand
Updated April 2019!! If you're going to Phuket - purchase the "Thailand Islands and Beaches" Guide!Bangkok Chiang Mai Krabi & Railay Koh Lanta Koh Phi Phi Koh Samui Koh Phangan Koh Tao Ditch the generic travel guides that are impersonal AF and feel like they were written for your nerdy cousin who wears socks with sandals.A true Thailand vacation should be equal amounts Thai culture, street food, and tan lines. And that's exactly what this guide is!The Solo Girl's Travel Guide shows you... What to Pack The Best Islands, Beaches, and Hotels for your Budget Local Places to Eat, Shop, and Explore Sights & Temples you MUST See (and which sights are a waste of time) Hidden Bars where you can make friends with Locals & Expats How to Take Public Transportation around the City And the nerve-racking stuff like how to get to your hotel from the airport without getting scammed Plan the perfect itinerary for 1 week, 10 days, 3 weeks - without breaking your budget. What this Guide is not... An overwhelming deep-dive into Thailand's history A 5-hour read with historical dates and ancient facts A book written by some man who doesn't even live here... Speaking of men, since the success of The Solo Girl's Travel Guide, I've had many dudes ask me, "Yeah, but why a girl's guide?" Um, because we have boobs. And for some reason, that's enough for the world to treat us like toys. We constantly have to ask ourselves questions like.... Are there drugs in my drink? Is that dark alley filled with serial killers? Am I going to be kidnapped and sold to the highest bidder? The answer is usually no, but for us girls, "usually" doesn't cut it. In order to be wild and carefree, we've got to feel 100% safe. And I've never found a travel guide to take my safety into consideration...so, here we are. PS. If you're going to Phuket - purchase the "Thailand Islands and Beaches" Guide! This guide skips Phuket...and for good reason. Remember! You don't need a boyfriend, a travel partner or anyone's approval to travel the world. And you don't need a massive bank account or an entire summer off work. All you need is some courage in your bones and a good book in your hands. If you've doubted yourself for one moment, remember this: Millions of girls travel across the globe all by themselves every damn day and you can, too. You are just as capable, just as smart, and just as brave as the rest of us. You don't need permission- this is your life. Listen to your gut, follow your heart, and just book that ticket already! Oh, and once you've bought this book...we're officially friends. I'm here if you need me, just write me on Instagram - you'll find my handle inside.

Also this book is a small contribution to our Honourable Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi's vison of Make In India. Tourism and hospitality have always been the focus point of many speeches of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His strong belief in Tour & Travel Industry is even apparent from the fact that the Ministry of Tourism channelizes half of its budget on developing destinations, circuits and mega & rural tourism infrastructure projects. The government also introduced many initiatives, such as Incredible India and Atithi Devo Bhava to attract tourists, especially foreigners. These and many other growth drivers put Tourism and Hospitality in the limelight of PM Modi's ambitious 'Make In India' campaign.

Wanderlust - Travel Stories
Foreword'Wanderlust--Travel Stories' is our publishing house's first travel stories collection. We consider this project very special since we embarked on this project during the pandemic when borders were still closed, and travelling was highly restricted. It is during this time that many of us started recollecting our travel stories, talking about trips that we had undertaken just a few years before--as if it was a distant memory we dearly wanted to hold on to. That is how we conceptualised this book. We had an open call, one author contacted another author--an ardent traveller, or a blogger, and within a year, we had over fifteen authors penning down their travel memories and exceptional experiences for this book. This book attempts to give a sense of the wealth of these solo, family, or group journeys. It is rich with anecdotes from sea voyages, hiking and biking trips, fishing and safari trips, a getaway in a resort during the pandemic, a trip to the North Pole and the South Pole, and many more unique tales of wondering and wandering. We have tried to group these geographically. The range of writeups that we received surprised us. If one story dealt with painting on a cruise ship to Antarctica, then another talked about fishing in Alaska, or restoring the dead in Indonesia; an artist spoke about his experience of painting Graffiti on a wall bordering Mexico, and a travelling spouse spoke about her memories of visiting Nelson Mandela's prison in South Africa; from a metaphysical journey in the Amazon to trekking expeditions to Armenia; from Cinque Terre in Italy to a waterfalls in Argentina, from exploring ancient forts of India, to following Napoleon Bonaparte's route across Europe on a bike. Every story is unique, and it is precisely this nostalgic and spectacular travel tale we have tried to curate and collect in this book. We wish you an exciting journey ahead.
