We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

JUST ME Long Island Sound behind it. If we could only make that, and it seemed that we could. I could distinguish men, women, cars, wagons, dogs and children following us on a run below. Evidently they could see our balloon hovering above them and wanted to be on the spot when we landed. Good luck was with us for sure. We reached an open space and my friend pulled the ripping cord. There was a terrible smell of gas and it seemed that the ground was coming up to meet us. I could see thousands of people waiting below with upstretched arms and it seemed as though they must be welcoming me back to the earth and fame. Be that as it may. [170]
