Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Way of the Wilderness The father stooped and kissed his boy again, while Wayne clasped both arms about his neck and held him close. The boy lay still for a few minutes after his father had left him, thinking over those words about trusting him. Of course, he would always believe that his father did just right. Perhaps, he said to himself, father thought I acted vexed yesterday when he wouldn't let me go sailing; I wish I had said that I wasn't, and that he's all right every time. I can't think why he told me to be brave, just now. Is anything going to happen to me, I wonder? Whereupon he bethought himself to get up and ask Aunt Crete for an explanation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winning the Wilderness The last Indian trail had disappeared. The hoofprints of cavalry horses had faded away. The price had been paid for the prairie - the costly measure of death and dar ing. But the prairie itself, in its loneliness and loveliness, was still unsubdued. Through the fury of the winter's blizzard, the glory of the springtime, the brown wastes of burning midsummer, the long autumn, with its soft sweet air, its opal skies, and the land a dream of splendor which the far mirage reflects and the wide horizon frames in a curtain of exquisite amethyst - through none of these was the prairie subdued. Only to the coming of that king whose scepter is the hoe, did soul of the soil awake to life and promise. To him the wilderness gave up every thing except its beauty and the sweep of the freedom breathing winds that still inspire it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wilderness Ways Indeed, it is hardly necessary for genuine interest to give human traits to the beasts. Any animal is inter esting enough as an animal, and has character enough of his own, without borrowing anything from man - as one may easily find out by watching long enough. Most wild creatures have but small measure of gentleness in them, and that only by instinct and at short stated sea sons. Hence I have given both sides and both kinds, the shadows and lights, the savagery as well as the gentleness of the wilderness creatures. It were pleasanter, to be sure, especially when you have been deeply touched by some exquisite bit of animal devo tion, to let it go at that, and to carry with you henceforth an ideal creature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Waiting in the Wilderness This grass plot was a wilderness meeting place for wild folks. -half a dozen wild-life trails crossed it or terminated in it. There were numberless air routes to and through it traversed by bats, butterflies, and birds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War-Path: A Narrative of Adventures in the Wilderness A dense fog hung over the placid surface of the Delaware River, and enveloped in its folds many of the ancient buildings of Burlington, then the capital of the colony of New Jersey. The stately mansion of the British governor, William Franklin, situated on the beautiful green bank so much admired at the present day, was wrapped in the vapour, and, as was often said of its occupant, seemed lost in a mist. Even the haunted tree in front of the governor's residence - the witches' sycamore - was reported by fearful pedestrians to have vanished, or at least to have become invisible. Yet, notwithstanding the gloom which oppressed the atmosphere, a most extraordinary sound of hilarity burst from the hall of one of the dwellings on the principal street running at right angles with the river. The house from which the sound proceeded was the habitation of a solemn Quaker. The hall-door was open, and within, erect as a young man of thirty-five, stood Thomas Schooley, in his sixtieth year, surrounded by several of his friends, of about the same age and stature, all being tall and athletic, and habited alike, as they were all Quakers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Long Trail: A Story of the Northwest Wilderness For this ship contained a million dollars in gold: these seedy passengers carried great bags of nuggets and bottles of shining dust which they had burned, at risk of their lives, out of the perpetually frozen ground, so far in the north that the winter had no sun and the summer midnight had no dusk. The world was instantly filled with the stories of these men and of their tons of bullion. There was a moment of arrested attention - then the listeners smiled and nodded knowingly to each other, and went about their daily affairs. But other ships similarly laden crept laggardly through the gates of Puget Sound, bringing other miners with bags and bottles, and then the world believed. Thereafter the journals of all Christendom had to do with the "Klondike" and "The Golden River." Men could not hear enough or read enough of the mysterious Northwest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Knight of the Wilderness LL New Salem, tingling with excitement, was down by Cameron's dam. It was not Often that excitement came to that little cluster of log cabins perched on the banks of the Sangamon River in the year Of our Lord 1831. They had their births and their burials, the people of New Salem, and their wooings and their weddings; but a village of a dozen or more log houses cannot well keep itself fully awake with stimulation so meager. Now and then the outer world permitted them a wanderer with gossip from Vandalia; or from Louisville, if their fortune ran strong. Occasionally an itinerant preacher passed that way and aroused them to a state of pleasurable panic. At intervals the boys from Clary's Grove paid them a rough, rol licking call in facetious mood, making the present exhilarating and leaving the future uncertain; but the agreeable sensations which might have been de rived from that form of diversion were marred by danger to life, limb, and law which usually attended these visits.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nearing Jordan: Being the Third and Last Volume of Sixty Years in the Wilderness My first visit to Ireland was paid at a critical moment in its history. The Centenary of O'Connell befell on the 5th of August, 1875. I was despatched to Dublin as the Special Correspondent of the Daily News with the mission of describing the proceedings. They proved exceedingly lively. Early in their progress the fissure apparently inevitable in the field of Irish politics presented itself. The Church, grateful for the successful efforts of the Liberator, desired to give the celebration a predominantly religious direction. The National Party, incited by their Members, at the time coming riotously to the front in the House of Commons, were not inclined to let slip a rare opportunity of bringing to the fore the demand for Home Rule. The accepted representative of the latter party was Isaac Butt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
