Download or read book The Great Salt Lake written by James Edward Talmage and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Salt Lake: Present and Past In some parts the following pages are reprints of articles that have appeared over the writer's signature in local and scientific periodicals; in other portions they are little more than a compilation of facts already of record. Perhaps sufficient excuse for the present publication may be found in the fact that reliable information regarding the Great Salt Lake is of difficult access to the general reader, inasmuch as it is mostly contained in the valuable though ponderous tomes of the national surveys. The popular writings on the subject, with some exceptions, have been criticized as extravagant and untrustworthy. The truth regarding Utah's Dead Sea is sufficiently impressive without recourse to fabulous embellishment, even if such were in any sense justifiable. The writer has drawn freely on the valuable records of investigators, and acknowledgment of authorities has been made in place.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Caves of the Great Salt Lake Region That this rise to the Bonneville level, over ow, and subsequent drop to the Provo level were concomitant with the maximum of the final Pleistocene glacial period has been, if not established beyond all doubt, generally postulated by geologists.3 In terms of years, this glacial maximum is presumed to have endured from about to years ago.4 A number of thousand years must, however, be allowed for the inaccuracies of such a broad estimate and for the possibility that fluctuations in Lake Bonneville were not precisely correlated with changes in the continental glaciation.

This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, 1917-1918, Vol. 36 It is the purpose of this paper to direct attention to some little known but very important food fishes in Bear Lake, Idaho and Utah. Aside from their value as food, these fishes are of interest to ichthyologists, as they belong to previously unknown forms that have managed to survive as representatives of an ancient quaternary fauna, which was no doubt composed of numerous species Of relatively wide distribution. At present they are confined to a single small lake, and they therefore remind us of the animals Of certain oceanic islands which have been preserved under favorable conditions, while Others of their kind less favored have long since passed away. Bear Lake is a part of the drainage system of Great Salt Lake, the connection being through Bear River, which has its origin among the mountains of the eastern slopes of the Wasatch Ranges. Through the channel Of its outlet, Bear Lake Was at one time connected with the quaternary Lake Bonneville, the Shore lines of which are still plainly traced along the sides of the bordering mountains. The outlet of Lake Bonneville carried its overflow into Snake River, and thus Bear Lake was for a time a part of the Columbia River system.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lake It was one of those enticing days at the beginning of May when white clouds are drawn about the earth like curtains. The lake lay like a mirror that someone had breathed upon, the brown islands showing through the mist faintly, with gray shadows falling into the water, blurred at the edges. The ducks were talking softly in the reeds, the reeds themselves were talking; and the water lapped softly about the smooth limestone shores. But there was an impulse in the gentle day, and, turning from the sandy spit, Father Oliver walked to and fro along the disused cart-track about the edge of the wood, asking himself if he were going home, knowing quite well that he could not bring himself to interview his parishioners that morning. On a sudden resolve to escape from anyone that might be seeking him, he went into the wood and lay down on the warm grass, and admired the thickly-tasselled branches of the tall larches swinging above him.

In his right hand he grasped a medicine bag and a drumstick; with his left he held a drum. He stood motionless. The smokers among the men, women, and children squatting before him, puffed away at their tobacco all save a boy of six, who withdrew his pipe from his mouth and held it aside while he refreshed himself from his mother's breast.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mining Districts of the Idaho Basin and the Boise Ridge, Idaho According to Gilbert, however, this Pleistocene is older than the highest stage of Lake Bonneville, during which the lake found an outlet at Red Rock Pass. The river draining the lake at this time appears to have flowed over the surface of the basalt. According to Hague, ' the latest eruptions in the Yellowstone National Park are of basalts, which stretch far into Idaho in somber, monotonous beds. These basalts are pre-glacial, and their eruption is referred to the Pliocene. About 1869 Mr. Clarence King visited the lower part of the Snake River basin and collected a number of fossils from beds beneath the basalt at Castle and Sinker creeks, tributaries from the south, joining the river about due south of Boise. The fossils have been described in detail, while no description of the localities was ever published, a fact which has led to some confusion. A few notes regarding this occurrence are contained in King's Systematic Geology2 and may be quoted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He closed his black blazing eyes, and under his bristly dark hair his ivory face was tense. White and shining, God and Our Lady welcomed a martyr to Heaven.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dead Lake: And Other Tales Summer was at its heighth, yet in one corner of the Alps an icy cold wind revolted against its dominion, and threatened to change the pouring rain into snow flakes. The air was so gloomy that even a house which stood about a hundred paces from the shore of the lake, could not be distinguished, although it was white washed and twilight had hardly set in. A fire had been lighted in the kitchen. The land lady was standing by it frying a dish of fish, while with one foot she rocked a cradle which stood beside the hearth. In the tap room, the landlord was lying on a bench by the stove, cursing the flies which would not let him sleep. A barefooted maid of all work sat spin ning in a corner, and now and then glanced with a sigh, through the dingy panes at the wild storm which was raging without. A tall strong fellow, the farm servant of the inn, came grumbling into the room: he shook the rain-drops from his clothes, like a dog com Eng out of the water, and threw a heap of wet fishing nets into a corner. It seemed as if the cloud of dis content and ill-humour which hung over the house, was only kept by this moody silence from bursting into a storm of discord and quarreling.
