Produktbeschreibung
The Wild Man of the West: A Tale of the Rocky Mountains is a novel written by Robert Michael Ballantyne. Ballantyne, a Scotsman, was a prolific writer of juvenile fiction during the nineteenth century. He authored more than one hundred books. The Wild Man of the West is the story of March Marson, an experienced teenaged backwoodsman, and his friend Bob Bounce. The two teenagers plan an adventure and escape to the West, where they explore the Rocky Mountains on foot, using their wits and survival skills as needed. The boys encounter terrific wildlife as well as the local indigenous peoples. They also come face to face with the title character, a "Wild Man" of local lore. What they learn about this "Wild Man" surprises them. Ballantyne was a writer of fiction aimed at teenagers, and this work is no different. It is a great adventure story that will appeal to young minds, and has two teenagers as its central characters. It is a coming of age story, with Ballantyne sprinkling in doses of wisdom alongside the action. The story moves quickly, and while character development isn´t neglected, this is a book that is forwarded more by action than by dialogue. The Wild Man of the West: A Tale of the Rocky Mountains is typical of Ballantyne´s work. It is a well-paced adventure that will primarily appeal to teenaged readers. Individuals looking for a classic tale of Western exploration would be wise to consider this novel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
