Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Frontier Army Sketches There is an interesting phase of American life that has hitherto had its chief chronicler in the dime novel and its most frequent interpreter in the blood-and-terror drama. Only two or three authors, and among them the foremost humorists of their time, seem to have truly seen, and having seen, to have been able to make others see, the unwritten and unconscious poetry and the dramatic character of those isolated lives that, careless of themselves, pass away in the process of erecting an empire whose boundless horizon, whose toils and pains, whose untrodden loneliness, have all combined to form a class in which the characters of the desperado and the gentleman have strangely united their characteristics; where love, longing, and hope exist without any of their appropriate surroundings, and where grim humor and deep feeling, lacking all their usual forms, find expression not in words alone but in every act of life. Beneath all the melancholy loneliness of wide plains, and the monotonous and oppressive sternness of mountains that lie changeless forever, there is a subtle something that cannot be described, or drawn, or clearly defined; a something that distinguishes everything from that which it most resembles; that makes a portrait to differ from the cold outlines of a photograph, and a face to differ from both.
