Manybooks.net, another source of stuff that's now in the public domain.
I came across this site on one of the gun forums, where a member there posted a link to a book titled "Zone Policeman 88" by Harry A Franck. Franck was in the Canal Zone as the Panama Canal was being dug. He first hired on as a census enumerator and was able to go over much of the Zone in that job. The description of what it was like on the floor of the huge digs and the living conditions alone is worth the time to read.
I've only now reached the point where he started work as a cop. There was no such thing as a police academy back then, it was all on-the-job training.
Franck apparently was one of the great travel-writers of the first half of the last century. I imagine that I'll be reading more of his work.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
If you like sci-fi and/or fantasy, there is the humble bundle 3 ebook promotion going on. For close to $13 you get ten books, bump it up to $15, and get an audiobook too. I've donated at the $15 level, but you can pay what you want, and still get the first four. (Humble bundle.com)
