This is an incredibly interesting site. I haven't made a dent in these yet, there are so many, but every one I've read has been extremely interesting. Description from the webpage: "This website is dedicated to the Louisiana travel writings of Catharine Cole, the pen name of Martha R. Field, who wrote for the New Orleans Daily Picayune from 1881 to 1894. She was the first full-time woman staff writer on the newspaper and wrote a column, "Catharine Cole's Correspondence," each Sunday featuring women's topics, philosophic observations, fiction and, most notably, her travels around the state."
