- 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.
- 1969 (original 1885), Color Studies:
- The additional fact may be appropriately mentioned here that a residence of five months in the stimulating atmosphere of New York had not by any means tended to make her less picklesome.
