Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Toils: Or Martyrs of the Latter Days "Of making many books there is no end." Solomon speaks in the present tense, implying that even in his day a great multitude which no man could number, burned with ambition to see their names - on papyrus let us say. If Solomon spake thus of his own era, what would he have said could his prophetic soul have projected itself into the nineteenth century! Surely, to-day, whoever inflicts an additional volume upon a long-suffering public, ought to be able to set up an unassailable plea in justification thereof. The present writer feels the full force of this obligation, and desires briefly to explain the raison d´ etre of the book now offered to the reader. When you and I were studying geography, a large section of the map of the United States, including the greater portion of the territory lying between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Slope, was covered with little dots and conveniently labeled, "Great American Desert." It is not always easy to outgrow the traditions of our youth, and to multitudes whom neither business nor pleasure has taken across the continent, the Great Desert is yet a reality - but what a surprise awaits them when they do make that long-deferred journey. The Desert is a land, rich in rivers and fountains, "a land that drinketh water of the rains of heaven," a land whose mountains are store-houses of gold and silver, whose ranges are covered with countless flocks and herds, and whose valleys teem with luxuriant vegetation. And here, in the very heart of the traditional waste of sand, upon the shores of the American Dead Sea, lies a valley filled to the brim with living verdure, and manifold blossoms, and rich with the promise of the coming harvest.
