The chronology starts with Earhart's transatlantic flight from Boston 
via Halifax to England, with subsequent welcoming arrivals in 
Southampton, London, New York, and Boston. The last photo bears the 
heading " 'MRS. PUTNAM' OF PARK AVENUE---BUT   'MISS EARHART' IN THE 
BUSINESS WORLD", and the text "NEW YORK...SNAPPED ABROAD A TRAIN MRS. 
GEORGE PALMER PUTNAM, BRIDE OF THE PUBLISHER, ANNOUNCED THAT SHE 
WOULD RETAIN HER MAIDEN NAME OF AMELIA EARHART FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES. 
SHE IS VICE PRESIDENT OF AN AIRWAY COMPANY. THE AVIATRIX WHO GAINED 
FAME AS THE FIRST WOMAN TO FLY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC IS SHOWN BOUND FOR 
WASHINGTON (EB. 9-31)". It is not known, although possible, that some 
of the photographs are unpublished. None of them appear in the trio 
of books which follow.				$1,000.00
