SATURDAY, the twelfth day of February, 1859, is a dull, dark day in New York, with visitations of snow-squalls, as the United States Mail Steamer Cahawba swings at her pier, at the foot of Robinson-street-a pier crowded with drays and drivers, and a street of mud, snow and ice, and poor habitations.

— from To Cuba and back, 1859

An ocean voyage of unimaginable consequences... Not every thirteen-year-old girl is accused of murder, brought to trial, and found guilty. But I was just such a girl, and my story is worth relating even if it did happen years ago. Be warned, however: If strong ideas and action offend you, read no more. Find another companion to share your idle hours. For my part I intend to tell the truth as I lived it. Contains: The true confessions of Charlotte Doyle / Avi -- Seafaring women: Mary Patten from Seafaring Women / Linda Grant De Pauw -- from Two years before the mast / Richard Henry Dana -- Walking the trestle / Jay Parini -- The princess and the admiral / Charlotte Pomerantz -- This morning there were rainbows in the sprinklers / Lorna Dee Cervantes.
