Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Yarns Round a Prairie Camp Fire: Or, Tales of Wild Adventure in the Far West, Etc;; Containing the Following Exciting and Amusing Tales, Now Forst Published in Any Form Travelling, as well as misery, makes us acquainted with strange bed-fellows and companions. Any one who has no objection to rough it, and wishes to see life in all its shades and varieties, should cross the Atlantic, and proceed to "the Far West" for a summer month or two. There will be found "Nature with her hair uncombed," as the Yankees say; and we shall meet with contrasts of character, an unrestrained display of peculiarites, and an energy of existence we can form no idea of in our state of overwrought civilization, compelled conformity to custom, and almost slavish deference to appearances. We shall there feel the truth of Byron´s lines - "Dear Nature is the kindest mother still, Though ever changing in her features wild." Stretched out upon the boundless prairie, every sense awake and alert, our pulses beating rapidly with a new born life and vigour - the virgin air giving to our every breath a fresh and undefinable sensation of delight, silence and solitude casting a spell, as it were, over all around - the deep blue heavens, the emerald earth, the gorgeous sun visible the live-long day from one horizon to another - the silvery moon and glistening stars by night - all to the young, the hopeful, and the imaginative, make their first experience of "the Far West" a charmed existence, once felt in its deep intensity, never to be forgotten.
