Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Corner Stone We may build more splendid habitations, Fill our rooms with paintings and with sculpture, But we cannot Buy with gold the old associations. - Longfellow. May air, shot through with gladsome morning light, overhung all the prairies, swathing the brow of old Pawnee Rock with a diaphanous veil filmy and fine as the draperies the master painters once drew about the shoulders of rare old Madonnas. Wide away the landscape stretches in lengths of shimmering green checked across by flat brown roadways, and melting at last into a mist of lavender-gray. The only break in all this level realm is Pawnee Rock - grand old citadel of the Plains, upreared in its majestic loneliness - the watch tower of the prairies through uncounted centuries. The westbound Santa Fe train was swinging away down its shining trail of steel, its coil of silvery smoke untwisting behind it. In the observation car Edith Grannell watched the land waves roll by with face aglow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
