    • 1890, Anne Richardson Earle, Her Great Ambition:
      One is quickened with a sense of something near and sweet and wholesome in its pleasant company. It is the story of a summer's 'camping-out,' told in alternate chapters by a brother and sister, of the frank, jolly, rather 'picklesome' sort.
