Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Ride Through Wonderland Although we had read thrilling and fascinating accounts of this marvellous region, yet each day we had to confess that it far surpassed our most fervent imaginings. Perhaps, however, those Who go through in the ordinary mode by stage, herded along on their forty dollar tickets in five days, and missing half its beauty and wonders, may not be SO enthusiastic. For the only way to thoroughly appreciate and enjoy it is to give oneself plenty of time, and to ride or drive through quite independently.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI. LOST IN THE YELLOWSTONE. It is only of late years that travelling through the Yellowstone could be accomplished without great difficulty. It was, indeed, an undiscovered country about twenty years ago. There had always been vague stories and rumours current about it, but, owing to the cordon of rugged and lofty mountain ranges by which it is enclosed, it remained for a long time unknown. Every attempt to penetrate this region from the east and south-east was an utter failure, as the snowy glaciers of the Wind River Range formed an insurmountable barrier. It had therefore to be entered from the west. The first successful attempt was made in 1870, by some of the officials and leading citizens of Montana, led by General Washburn. During thirty days they explored the canon of the Yellowstone; then, crossing the mountains to the headwaters of the Madison, they visited the geyser regions of Firehole River, and ascended that stream to its junction with the Madison. One of the most remarkable experiences of long-sustained privation ever made known, was endured by Mr. Evarts, a member of this expedition, who was separated from the rest of his party for thirty-seven days. He has written a thrilling description of all the perils he encountered, perils enhanced by the extraordinary and phenomenal nature of his surroundings. It may be interesting, as a close to this account, to follow him in his wanderings; in a slightly abridged form, however, as he is inclined to apostrophize upon, and moralize over, his adventures, a little too frequently for the cold-blooded and critical reader's taste. The unfortunate man somehow lost sight of his companions while they were endeavouring to make their way through an immense tract of fallen timber....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonderland '96 Here has started, at P. M. Every day for many years, from the Union Station at St. Paul, Minn., on the long journey to the Pacific Coast, the transcontinental train of the Northern Pacific Railroad. As it stands in the station waiting the hour of departure it well merits inspection. At its head is a huge ten-wheeled Baldwin locomotive. On each side of this machine there are three driving-wheels sixty two inches in diameter. The ordinary or standard locomotive has but two driving-wheels at each side. This number does not give enough grip on the rails to enable the engine to pull the heavy train easily and rapidly around curves and over heavy grades. An extra pair of driving-wheels is therefore necessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonderland '98 We know that this is true of a Short trip, one of but a few hours' dura tion; how much more so, then, of a long one Viewed in this light, the journey of miles over the Northern Pacific, or any other line, may well be studied seriously. Without intending invidious comparisons, it can, I think, be fairly and truthfully stated that no line of equal approximate length affords more and greater diversity of scenery than does this. Without taking account of the shining lakes of the Park Region of Minnesota, or of the lesser streams beside which the bands of steel wind in curving flashes of light, there are nearly miles of large and beautiful waterways along which the transcontinental trains of the Northern Pacific hold their way. Three. Times do these trains cross separate portions of the Rockies and once the Cascade Range. Here, then, are two of the most important features of a landscape - water and mountains - found, sometimes in pleasing alter nation and again in conjunction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey Through Wonderland: Or the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, With a Description of the Country Traversed by the Northern Pacific Railroad It was the merest chance that took me westward. 1 had never previously been 500 miles from New York - except, of course, to Europe. Everyone goes to Europe. The chance that made me journey westward was a business one; but other than business reasons made me glad to go. "If you ever get an ache of the heart," said a young Frenchman whom I once met, "take a long journey. Visit the Indian Ocean, for instance. There, wrapped in a pajama, one lies on deck at night, watching the swaying of the masthead and the twinkling of the stars - the languorous stars of those latitudes Time, space, and peace are all there is left of life, and the bitterness and weariness melt away from one, and seem to become a part of the mists in the blue distance. Take my word for it, there is nothing like a voyage 011 some solitary sea to cure the heartache." Thus, when it came about that business took me to Duluth, to Winnipeg, and St. Paul, I concluded to go farther-across the plains, the mountains, and to Alaska. I substituted Alaska for the Indian seas. Alaska, I confess, seemed a very long way off, for I had not, at that time, learned that distance is no actual quantity, but is determined only by the convenience or inconvenience that attends a journey. When I left my native city, however, the words "Duluth" and "Winnipeg" were without significance to me, and even St. Paul meant little enough. The first two days are indistinct in my mind. There arc circumstances under which a man can not enjoy even a Niagara. I could not hear its roar for the cooing of newly-married lovers, and considering n recent experience of mine, I naturally felt irritated. A few long days on the lakes followed, and I got a certain comfort out of them. It is true that I did not lie wrapped in my pajama while fanned by tropical and perfumed breezes. There were no tropical breezes, for one thing, and I had no pajama. As the oxygen got into my lungs, the morbidity went out of my soul, and I should have been almost happy but for a young lumberman on board, lie was a good-natured young man - indeed, he was too good-natured, for lie never looked at me without smiling.

Travel, interstate and intersectional travel, based on ardent patriotism. Sink first State selfishness, and recognize the fact that what benefits the whole benefits a part.

And above all let the thousands who throng over Europe, spend their ducats in viewing the wonders of the unrivaled Yellowstone Park, gazing upon the snow-crowned head of Mount Tacoma, cruising along the glacial shores of scenic Alaska; while those of the East, leave the valleys and glens of New York and New Eng land, and hie themselves to the life-giving air of the Minnesota Lake Park region, ride over the Montana cattle-plains, or steam o'er the Kootenai Lakes, the gorge-like Lake Chelan, or the lovely Lake Pend d'oreille.
