I love the spirit and gumption of Nellie Bly. She doesn't complain as she goes through great hardship, she just turns it into adventure. She chooses these adventure with no thought whatsoever about the consequences. I could never be quite as daring as her, so it's fun to go with her on her gutsy journeys.
This most delightful, energetic, confident, focused, and talented young woman convinced her newspaper publishing boss to finance her effort to surpass Jules Verne's imaginary around-the-world travel record of 80 days.
This would be a documentary if it were a film I guess. Nellie does what was unthinkable for a woman in the 19th century, which is travel just about anywhere by herself, and without trunks and hoop skirts and a maid to care for it all. She takes one "hand bag," which isn't described in much detail but she can carry it herself. Her big jar of cold cream, the application of which she hopes will ward off sunburn, is her biggest deterrent to that minimalist luggage thing. So for the historical details it's rather interesting reading, but it's basically a transcription of her travel journal, with maybe some embellishment as she got it ready for publication, but on the whole, rather dry reading. I really skimmed toward the end...
The book was very interesting. The reading was sometimes interrupted by format errors in the Kindle version: weird spacing, missing punctuation, etc.
