1916 California Sixth Year Literature Reader

Jerry Pournelle has the entire text of this school reader, used in California from 1916 to about 1925, digitized on his site, but it's restricted to site subscribers (recommended--it helps fund his writing. Coming soon: Pournelle with Niven: "Inferno 2")
