"Six Days on the Hurricane Deck of a Mule" by Almira Stillwell Cole is a personal travelogue written in the early 1890s. The book chronicles the author's adventurous journey on mule-back through the uncharted terrains of Honduras, Central America, providing a vivid depiction of her experiences during this unique expedition. It primarily focuses on the challenges faced while traveling in a largely untamed landscape, highlighting the cultural and environmental differences encountered along the way. In this engaging account, Cole transports readers through a mixture of humor, fear, and awe as she grapples with the discomforts of life on a mule. The narrative captures her initial excitement, trepidation about the journey, and her amusing interactions with both the mule and locals she meets. The book is a candid exploration of the landscapes traversed, the native cultures observed, and the personal reflections that emerge from a uniquely taxing journey. Through her resilience, Cole not only learns to navigate the physical demands of riding a mule but also discovers the profound beauty and warmth of the Honduran people and their environment, ultimately observing the dichotomy between her initial expectations and the reality of her adventure.
