Excerpt: ...the genuine moose; but now, when a crazy Moose is after us--well, there isn't quite so much fun in it. It may be that that cry is a signal that he has started on the back track, and is coming; so let us travel, and keep on the look-out." The lads felt a certain exhilaration over the success that had attended the attempt to escape from the Moose, and they now strode along at a faster gait than usual, conscious that daylight must be at hand. When they spoke it was in a low voice, and they listened as they walked, their hopes constantly rising as time passed, and nothing was seen or heard of their captor. Recalling, as well as they were able, the route followed since their encampment, they were sanguine that the stream over which they were journeying was a tributary of the Penobscot, and ultimately reached the Atlantic. Accordingly they made the best time possible, not pausing for more than a minute or two until they saw by the increasing light that day was breaking. Strive as much as they might, they knew it was impossible to conceal their trail from the Moose. Accustomed as he was to ranging the forest in all directions, at all seasons, he would follow them as readily as if they were upon skates, and were the first to pass over the glassy surface. Thus i was that daylight brought with it additional trepidation, and increased their anxiety to rejoin Pierre, the king of the woods. But they were now proceeding at random, as it may be said, doubtful whether every step was making less or greater the distance between him and them. "I think we would better lie by till night, again, or else get off this creek," suggested Clarence, after they had walked for some time. ' This is too plain a road for the Moose to follow, and I can't...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hunt on Snow Shoes "Hark!" A low, wailing sound came faintly through the forest of oaks and pines, and borne on the wintry air, reached the ears of the two brothers who, on this moonlight night many years ago, were gliding swiftly over the gleaming surface of the Kennebec, on their ringing skates, which had already carried them full ten miles from their home. It was Clarence Landon, the elder, who had uttered the exclamation that arrested the laughter and conversation of himself and Sydney. On the instant they ceased striking out, and the rasping whir of the keen-edged steel grew softer and still softer, until the two came to a stand, side by side. Still they spoke not, but stood looking and listening. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Whiter Than Snow written by Sandra Dallas and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From The New York Times bestselling author of Prayers for Sale comes the moving and powerful story of a small town after a devastating avalanche, and the life changing effects it has on the people who live there Whiter Than Snow opens in 1920, on a spring afternoon in Swandyke, a small town near Colorado's Tenmile Range. Just moments after four o'clock, a large split of snow separates from Jubilee Mountain high above the tiny hamlet and hurtles down the rocky slope, enveloping everything in its path including nine young children who are walking home from school. But only four children survive. Whiter Than Snow takes you into the lives of each of these families: There's Lucy and Dolly Patch—two sisters, long estranged by a shocking betrayal. Joe Cobb, Swandyke's only black resident, whose love for his daughter Jane forces him to flee Alabama. There's Grace Foote, who hides secrets and scandal that belies her genteel façade. And Minder Evans, a civil war veteran who considers his cowardice his greatest sin. Finally, there's Essie Snowball, born Esther Schnable to conservative Jewish parents, but who now works as a prostitute and hides her child's parentage from all the world. Ultimately, each story serves as an allegory to the greater theme of the novel by echoing that fate, chance, and perhaps even divine providence, are all woven into the fabric of everyday life. And it's through each character's defining moment in his or her past that the reader understands how each child has become its parent's purpose for living. In the end, it's a novel of forgiveness, redemption, survival, faith and family.

Download or read book Snowshoe Country written by Thomas M. Wickman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snowshoe Country is an environmental and cultural history of winter in the colonial Northeast, closely examining indigenous and settler knowledge of snow, ice, and life in the cold. Indigenous communities in this region were more knowledgeable about the cold than European newcomers from temperate climates, and English settlers were especially slow to adapt. To keep surviving the winter year after year and decade after decade, English colonists relied on Native assistance, borrowed indigenous winter knowledge, and followed seasonal diplomatic protocols to ensure stable relations with tribal leaders. Thomas M. Wickman explores how fluctuations in winter weather and the halting exchange of winter knowledge both inhibited and facilitated English colonialism from the 1620s to the early 1700s. As their winter survival strategies improved, due to skills and technologies appropriated from Natives, colonial leaders were able to impose a new political ecology in the greater Northeast, projecting year-round authority over indigenous lands.

Book excerpt: “One sensational read! Wow, this one just completely blew me away. If you are looking for a brand new series to sink your teeth into, then look no further. A must read!” Once Upon A Time Book Blog, 5 stars Madison walked through the fallen snow, looking left and right. It had been Kaylee’s idea to use the trail through the forest; she said no one would follow them. But Madison lost sight of Kaylee for a moment and when she found her again she wasn’t alone… In the remote forests of Stillwater, Minnesota, you can scream for days and no one will hear you. So when the bodies of two fifteen-year-old girls are discovered frozen in the snow, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is sure the killer is local: someone knew where to hide the girls and thought they would never be found. Though Nikki hasn’t been home in twenty years, she knows she must take over the case. The Sheriff’s department in Stillwater has already made a mistake by connecting the girls’ murders to those of a famous serial killer, refusing to consider the idea that the killer could be someone from town. Then another girl’s body is found, a red silk ribbon tied in her hair, and Nikki realizes that the killer has a connection to her own dark past, and the reason she left Stillwater. Nikki is not the only person in town who wants those secrets to stay hidden. Will she be able to face her demons before another child is taken? Gripping and spine-chilling, The Girls in the Snow will make you gasp, unable to put it down until the final heart-pounding twist. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Robert Dugoni.
