Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Old Colony Town and Other Sketches Coming up from Buzzard´s Bay through the woods, I get my first view of the spires of Plymouth from the top of a hill. The town lies on a sloping plain between the sea and a range of pine-covered hills, which, beginning behind it, extend about thirty miles in a southeasterly direction and end on the Atlantic Ocean. It is easy to discover that the thing which the town lacks is a steady harbor; one that will stay at home all day and not go away at night. Whenever the tide runs out, the harbor runs out also, leaving in its place broad, oozy flats which offer good pickings to plover, whose flying cry is a startling note among the sounds of a summer night. Through the ooze wind narrow channels of shallow water to the sea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
