Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Girl of the Blue Ridge The top of Old Abe mountain was covered with a cap of tumbled, white cloud, as if he had listed his head sleepily from an uneasy bed. His aspect was blue and cold, and all up his rugged slopes the trees glistened and dripped, as if the very heavens had wept in the night. Old Abe is a wild, uncivilized mountain, deeply scarred with gorges, rock-bound and precipitous; uncivilized but not uninhabited, as paths winding along the steep sides, half hidden with rank shrubbery, would indicate. Down one of these paths a mule was slowly descending, with a careful setting of her small hoofs among the rocks at each step, as is the way of the wise, cautious mules of the mountains. She was a sleek, well-fed, and altogether contented animal, and she might well be, for she was her rider´s best friend; at least, the mountain people did not know of his having any other friend, and certainly no friend could be better treated than her rider treated her. One sign of this friendship was that no matter how drunk her rider might be, the mule always took good care of him.
