 summary of trip (By Rosemary Schroeder, Oregon’s D.A.R. Pilgrim to Washington, D. C.) April 10. Left tonight on the Portland Rose. Went directly to bed. The train is jiggling so I can scarcely write. April 1 I. The Idaho Pilgrim joined us in Boise at noon today. It is great fun eating in the diner. I had salad for supper with French dressing and it skidded about so I worked up an appetite while eating it. April 12. Crossed Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, and part of Colorado today. The country is all so bleak and desolate, just sage brush and prairie. Saw one herd of long horn steers. There was snow in Wyoming. Wouldn’t give an acre of Oregon for all the country I’ve been through. April I 3. Crossed Illinois, Indiana, and will have gone through Ohio before morning. Stopped in Chicago for about six hours. Went on a sight-seeing tour of the city. My, but it is a big, busy place. We saw the Wrigley building, Chicago University, Elk Memorial, the little cafe where Wayne King began his orchestral career and the beautiful Drake Hotel where he plays now. We went down a street called Gasoline Alley where any car made in the world may be purchased. About twenty of the girls have joined us. We are on our way to Washington, D. C., on the B O streamliner. April 14. Arrived in Washington, D. C., at 10:00 this morning. My what a place! All the girls are here; they are so friendly and full of fun. The accents are all so different. I could listen to the southern drawls forever. We got located at the Blackstone Hotel, then started seeing things. Went to Constitution Hall, the DAR headquarters. It is a magnificent building. This evening we attended a reception at one of the officer’s homes. It was a big colonial mansion with spacious lawns and gardens. April 13. It’s midnight and I’m surely ready for bed. How we have dashed today. First we went to the Library of Congress which is the largest library in the world. The older building contains five and a half million books. In the two buildings combined there are 405 miles of book shelves. Went to Folger’s Shakespearian Library. It houses an exact replica of the Globe Theater where Shapespeare’s plays were produced. It is even the exact size. This afternoon we went to the Smithsonian Institute, wish I could have spent a week there. Saw Washington’s Monument and Lincoln’s Memorial which I am sure is the most impressive structure in Washington. Past Ford s Theater and have seen so many other wonderful things that I feel like a walking history book or something antique. It has been pouring rain all day. April I 6. Went to St. Thomas Episcopal Church. It is the one President Roosevelt attends, was sorry he wasn't there. Went to Arlington Cemetery this afternoon and saw the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I didn t realize it was so big. It has a beautiful Grecian amphitheater built of solid marble which will accommodate C 00 people. Left for the Curtis Lee mansion and then went to Mt. Vernon. They were both very similar, both so stately, they looked like they have lived the very fullest life a home could possibly live. This evening at the Mayflower Hotel the DAR President presented us with our pins. I’m so sleepy.
