Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prairie Experiences in Handling Cattle and Sheep To write a book after travelling in America seems inevitable. Is it a disease catching from one traveller to another? or is it caught in the country? The subject is so large, the parts so various and changing, that however much you may have studied the country in books, you cannot help seeing and hearing much that is new to you and vanity suggests new to others. We all start with a good intention of writing nothing; we break down in our resolves, and are often delivered of crude and hastily-formed notions, whose faults we do not see till others tell us. But does not every parent look on his child for a time as a novelty, a necessity, and an object of public interest. The following narrative has not been compiled from guide-books or statistical pamphlets. I have told what I saw and experienced, and have not ventured to deal with social problems or large generalizations. Before, therefore, starting on a trip through these pages, let me say that my journey took me through Wyoming, about Montana, across to Washington Territory, then back from California, through Nevada into Idaho. Cattle, cow-boys, round-ups, sheep-driving, herders, and life on the prairie, these are my text, to which I will strive to stick.
