Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Deserts Deserts contains sixty - four full - page illustrations devoted to describing deserts, showing the mountains which cause them, the sand dunes, the desert pavement, and other conditions of the deserts; unsuspected deserts; and the life upon them. Among the illustrations of the plants of the true deserts there are photographs of those ephemeral blossoms, such as the Evening Primrose, which come forth following the infrequent rains, produce their seeds, and pass away in a few short days. There are illustrations of the trees and the 'forests of the deserts, such as the Joshua Tree, the Desert Ironwood, and the Palo Verde. There are photographs of those striking shrubs, the mesquite and Cat's - claw. In addition to the cactuses for which the deserts are most famed, there are illustrations of the animals, ranging from the Powder Post Beetle through the Centipede, Scorpion, Chuckwalla, and Side winder Rattlesnake to the Kangaroo Rat and Desert Antelope Ground Squirrel. With very few exceptions the photographs were taken in the desert. The animals were alive and active, often too active, when the pictures were made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of the Desert Almost everybody will be disappointed in this book, because they have been expecting something humor ous. But there is a sad and serious side to every man's life, and in mine there has been a homesick feeling haunting my soul since I came West, and, while roam ing over the deserts of Colorado, where the silence feels as heavy and gloomy as the shadow of death, these songs came into my heart like requiems sung over the graves where I am fast burying the memories of my boyhood friends; for the many faces I loved in the long ago seem to be fading away from Memory's view, like the little whirlwinds of sand that go dancing out towards the horizon and disappear forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom of the Desert This little book is neither a critical examination of the early Egyptian monastic literature nor an historical account of the movement. It is nothing more than an attempt to appreciate the religious spirit of the first Christian monks. I do not know of any other similar attempt, though an exceedingly interesting study of the hermit life will he found in E. Lucius' Das Monchische Leben des vierten und funften Jahrhunderts in der Beleuchtung seiner Vertreter und Gonner. The collection of stories and sayings which I have translated, sometimes very freely, must be regarded merely as an anthology culled from the "meadows" of the literature of the desert life. There is much more which is worthy of a place in our devotional literature, and which, I hope, may in the future be arranged and translated by men more fitted for the task than I am.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Desert He had felt more and more deeply that the happiness of his life would be forfeited if he failed to win back the woman who had been dear to him, even as a child, and who had not only authorized him to believe in her love, but speedily to call her his betrothed bride. Fate had willed otherwise They had parted in anger, but he believed that she still cherished him in her mem ory. He at least had not forgotten her a single day, a single hour, and he by no means repented this loyal fidelity; for she was an orphan, and in the cruel time when her parents and her brother, his most intimate friend, had been torn from her, he had vowed to guard her like a precious pledge confided to his care, and never permit her to appeal to him in vain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Tales of the Desert Mary and her mother had joined her father at his mine, where they were going to spend the winter, sleeping in a tent, eating in a tent, but spending the remainder of the time out of doors, under the clear, blue sky and breathing the sweet, pure air. Mary enjoyed all these things and no troubled thought crossed her mind until the approach of Christmas. She sought counsel with her mother, but Mother merely looked wise and said wait. Mothers, somehow, seem to know all about these things and Mary had great confidence in hers, and so she ceased to worry, but still she wondered. Christmas Eve at last arrived and Mary with many misgivings retired early, as children often do in order to hasten the coming of the day. She slept well, but awoke just as the sun came peeping up from behind the distant mountains. She sat up on her cot very suddenly and rubbed her eyes. What was that rapidly moving object coming over the brow of the nearest hill? She hurried into her clothes and went out. As the speck camenearer it began to take definite form. But how strange! What did it all mean? Mary stood and stared with wide open eyes. Quickly it came nearer and nearer and presently rolled over the nearest rise and swung up in front of the camp. Mary had seen many interesting sights during her short life of six years, but never one so strange. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Well in the Desert Blue Gulch had but one street, the two sides of which lay at different levels, separated by the wide yawn of the gulch itself, thrusting into the moun tain from the desert below. From where the man stood he commanded a very complete view of the place. In nearly every house was a light, and the shadows thrown upon the canvas walls gave a fair clue to the occupations of those within; so that during the early part of each evening at least neither half of the town need be in any doubt as to how the other half was living. The life and gaiety of the community in relaxa tion seemed to gather upon the upper plane. Across the gulch Lower Broadway lay in compara tive darkness. The man drew back again as a couple of shadowy forms came wavering down the road. One of these carried a lantern, which hung low at his side, revealing the heavy miners' boots of the pair, and casting grotesque shadows up the moun tain-side.
