Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of the Wilderness The man was tall and stalwart. His head, small, round and closely shorn, sat literally on his broad, high shoulders, giving his whole figure the appearance of a colossal clothes-pin. There was no mingled blood of the races in his veins. He was black, actually black; but a kinder and more agreeable face one rarely sees, be the complexion what it may. His wife was small and frail, about forty years old. In any other company she might have been called black but comely, but beside him her color faded, and she was only a little brown woman. Her features were not cast in the Guinea mould. Her nose was small and straight, and her thin lips, which only half hid two rows of small, white teeth, were fixed in a sad smile. Her eyes were soft and kind, and her low voice had a plaintive tone which at once won the hearts of the ladies. The strangers were offered seats, and invited to wait for the minister's return; but they hesitated, evidently afraid of using too much freedom.

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.

Download or read book Masters of the Wilderness Classic Reprint written by Charles Bert Reed and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masters of the Wilderness The most insistent fact in history is the struggle between man and Nature, or between man and man with Nature for the prize. Everywhere the puny human forces have dashed themselves with gallant idealism or reckless enthusiasm against the obduracy of primeval things. In America the effort has not been in vain nor devoid of dramatic interest. A myriad of industrial adventures have found success, and the papers herewith offered may possibly renew a flagging interest in the first phases of the comprehensive movement which now takes so conspicuous a part in our national life. History and story, it is said, are both narratives, but history is regarded merely as a record, story stimulates the imagination. In truth history should stimulate more powerfully than fiction, for it concerns the ideals which have moved mankind. The greed of commerce, the greed of thought, the greed of faith, and the greed of love are alike masters of our destiny. If kindling the mind is the mark of literary excellence, then it belongs to the historian, as to the novelist, to present his subject so that events will appear, not only in due order, but with appropriate values and the necessary climax.

Download or read book Breaking the Wilderness Classic Reprint written by Frederick S. Dellenbaugh and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breaking the Wilderness In this volume I have endeavoured to present a review in chronological order of the important events which contributed to breaking the Wilderness that so long lay untamed west of the Mississippi, mentioning with as much detail as possible in a single popular volume the principal persons and happenings in proper sequence, but paying special attention to the trapper and trader element, which, more than any other, dispelled the mysteries of the vast region. I believe this to be the first book so fully to treat the subject as a consecutive narrative. By means of it, not only may the story of the struggle to master the Wilderness be examined, but the place of the trapper and trader in the work of its reduction, and that of Coronado, Mackenzie, Lewis and Clark, Fremont, Powell, and similar explorers, may be determined with reference to each other as well as with reference to the general order. Many people seem to know little about Western history; about Coronado, Cabeza de Vaca, or even about Mackenzie; and others are by no means clear as to where in the historical scale these characters belong. While the name of Daniel Boone is familiar to every child, names of men equally eminent in the same pursuits, like Jedediah Smith, Bridger, Fitzpatrick, etc!, are scarcely known at all. Nor have many persons a just appreciation of the numerous attempts that were made to explore the Western Wilderness, or of the extremely early period in the history of North America when these attempts began. Many arc surprised, therefore, to learn that the first European entrance into the western part of the United States occurred over three and a quarter centuries ago.

There were numberless air routes to and through it traversed by bats, butterflies, and birds. Often the wild life ceased to search for food, played their primitive games with enthusiasm, and sometimes they had battles or courtships.
