Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Famous Scouts Including Trappers, Pioneers, and Soldiers of the Frontier: Their Hazardous and Exciting Adventures, in the Mighty Drama of the White, Conquest of the American Continent These are the stories of men who, impelled by love of adventure and fascinated by wild nature, deserted the places where those of their kind clustered together in towns, cities, and small settlements, to plunge into a country peopled by men of a hostile race. These adventurers had music in their souls. They possessed temperaments of a poetic nature, and loved the great, wide vistas of the plains; the scream of the eagle; the bark of the coyote; the splash and gurgle of crystal rivers which plunged in a reckless course between the shelving sides of narrow canons. Their eyes reveled in the skies of the golden West, and in the sight of plateaus decked with those flowers of a million colors which clothe the mountain valleys in the hot months of summer. Their senses were keen; their love of the unrestrained life in camp and log cabin was resistless; their ready rifles supplied them with the wherewithal to sustain their strength and spirits; and in their veins ran warm, red blood. Urged onward by the romantic, these hardy individuals made history. Emerson speaks with truth when he says, "Romance is never present, but always remote. Things which are cruel and abominable when they occur, become romantic in memory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
