Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of a Mountain Without knowing exactly whither my steps were lead ing me, I turned towards those great mountains whose jagged crests I beheld breaking the distant line of the horizon. On I went, following by-paths, and in the evening stopping before isolated inns. The sound of a human voice, the noise Of a footstep, made me shudder; but when I was walking alone I listened with melancholy pleasure to the birds singing, the river murmuring, and the thousand strains proceeding from the vast woods. Walking, as chance led me, either along the high-road or footpath, at last I reached the first defile of the moun tain. The wide plain, scored with indentations, stopped abruptly at the foot of the rocks and Slopes shaded by chestnut-trees. The lofty blue peaks, seen from afar, had disappeared behind other crests, which were not so high, yet nearer to me. By my side the river, which, lower down, falling over boulders, extended into a vast sheet Of water, owed rapidly down between the shining rocks, clad with a blackish-hued moss. Above each bank a low hill, the first lesser chain of the mountains, reared up its escarpments and bore upon its summit the ruins of a large tower, formerly the warder of the valley. I felt shut in between two walls; I had quitted the region of large towns, Of smoke and hubbub; enemies and false friends were left behind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Only Nancy: A Tale of the Kentucky Mountains The mouth of the Gorge through which the stream rushed into View and the several falls that were in its way toward the pool caught the eye of the artist and he proceeded at once to sketch. He thought, as he worked, that Nature was at her best in this wild place. NO human hand had ever touched it with the art or skill of man. It could not be improved. It was a case Of Beauty unadorned, adorned the most. The artist, delighted beyond measure with his discovery, concluded that Nature loved the beautiful and had somewhat selfishly reserved this retired place for her own delectation.

If one has reached maturity before he stands for the first time in the presence of the sea or mountains, the impression left is as clean cut as an intaglio crisp and sharp in detail, it makes an imperishable memory. It is a distinct loss to have the edge of sublimity dulled by too great famil iarity, especially by the familiarity that comes from having grown up with an object, so that at no time has one experienced the delicious shock caused by a sudden surprise of beauty.

Now there was on the tops of these Mountains, Shepherds feeding their flocks, and they stood by the high-way side. The Pilgrims therefore went to them, and leaning upon their staves, (as is common with weary Pilgrims, when they stand to talk with any by the way, ) they asked. Whose delectable Mountains are these?... When the Shepherds perceived that they were way-faring men, they also put questions to them, as, Whence came you? and, How got you into the way? and, By what means have you so persevered therein?... Then said the Shepherds one to another, Let us here shew to the Pilgrims the Gates of the C lestial City, if they have skill to look through our Perspective Glass.... Then they essayed to look, but... they could not look steadily through the Glass; yet they thought they saw something like the Gate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of the Mountains But, listening for a day, even for an hour, to the sounds that echo in this cup of the hills, one comes to know that life is ever present. The evidences are faint and far, but the ear makes sure of them - yodeling and calling, barking of dogs, crowing of cocks in the early morning. Listen l - a horn is wound away off toward the gap. An axe rings on the crystal of a winter day. Some boy must needs advertise his riches of both ammunition and corn whiskey at once by several shots fired in quick succession at noth ing at all. Hoofs clatter over the shale at the ford, far below, and sometimes the music of a hunt or a dancing party continues nearly through the night.

Download or read book The Mountains of Oregon Classic Reprint written by W. G. Steel and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mountains of Oregon This little volume has not been written with the expectation of accomplishing a mission, or even attracting general attention, but simply to put into permanent form a small portion of information that is constantly appearing in newspaper articles. Such information usually comes from abler pens than mine, but it is all the more pity that it is not in proper shape for future use. If it amuses, entertains or instructs those who peruse it, its aim will be accomplished, and its author satisfied. There is, however, a word of explanation due for the manner in which it is arranged. It was not begun with the intention of publishing a book, but in response to numerous requests received for descriptions of Crater Lake and Mt. Hood. As it was impossible at the time to answer them satisfactorily, it was decided to print a letter on each subject, and issue as a small pamphlet. Before this was accomplished the discovery was made that the space allotted was entirely inadequate, so, acting on the advice of friends, this form was adopted; too late, however, to prevent the present arrangement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends From River Mountain The first ten of these stories are taken from the German of Carmen Sylva, who has kindly given the translator her special permission to add them to the following collection of legends. The originals are to be found in her charming volumes of Roumanian tales: "Pelesch Marchen" and "Durch die Jahrhunderte." Many of them are associated with the mountains which surround her home among the pine-woods of Sinaia; others belong to the districts traversed by the Pelesch river, the merry stream that dashes through the ravine at the foot of her garden, "whispering all sorts of wonders and secrets to those who have ears to hear." The remaining tales in the volume are collected from different parts of Germany. "The Little Glass-man," a legend of the Black Forest, is taken from "Hauff's Marchen";the other stories are all compiled from, or founded upon, legends to be met with in various German collections, such as Ziehnert's, Prohle's, &c.
