Book excerpt: Over the Rocky Mountains to Alaska By Charles Warren Stoddard There was no sleep during the closing night-not one solitary wink; all laws were dead-letters-alas that they should so soon arise again from the dead!-and when the wreath of stars that crowns the golden statue of Our Lady on the high dome, two hundred feet in air, and the wide-sweeping crescent under her shining feet, burst suddenly into flame, and shed a lustre that was welcomed for miles and miles over the plains of Indiana-then, I assure you, we were all so deeply touched that we knew not whether to laugh or to weep, and I shall not tell you which we did. The moon was very full that night, and I didn't blame it!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheldon Jackson: Pathfinder and Prospector of the Missionary Vanguard in the Rocky Mountains and Alaska During the half-century which preceded this period, the United States, by purchase, by conquest and by diplomacy, had acquired a magnificent domain of virgin territory, which extended from the Mississippi and the Gulf Of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean and the Shores Of Puget Sound. Into this New West, then an unknown and almost nu inhabited land, - a land Of mystery and desert solitudes and deadly perils - a few resolute settlers had gone, fol lowing the trail of the hunters and trappers, in the stir ring days of the forties. Up to the middle of the cen tury, however, there were very few, even of the most ad venturous of these forerunners of civilization, who had any adequate realization of the vast extent and boundless possibilities of this princely heritage. The discovery of gold on the Pacific coast in 1848 was a divinely ordained event which directed the attention of the whole nation to the Far West, and suggested to the men of action and intelligence, whose faces were stead fastly set towards it, the possibility of an overland route to the goal Of their ambition on the Pacific slope.

This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Warren Stoddard (August 7, 1843, - April 23, 1909) was an American author and editor.Charles Warren Stoddard was born in Rochester, New York on August 7, 1843. He was descended in a direct line from Anthony Stoddard of England, who settled at Boston, Massachusetts, in 1639. While he was still a child, he moved with his parents to New York City. In 1855, the family migrated to San Francisco, California when his father found a job at a mercantile firm. Stoddard was 11 and was immediately smitten with the city and, as he recalled, its "natural tendency to overdress, to over-decorate, to overdo almost everything." In 1857, joined his ill brother Ned on a restorative trip East, where they stayed at their grandfather's farm in western New York. He rejoined his family in San Francisco by 1859. Stoddard began writing verses at a young age amid the growing literary climate of California. His first published work saw print in The Golden Era for September 1862 under the pseudonym "Pip Pepperpod." He later recalled how he clandestinely slipped his contribution into the Era's mailbox without anyone knowing: "No member of my family suspected that I was so bold as to dream of entering the circle of the elect who wrote regularly every week for the chief literary organ west of the Rocky Mountains."[3] His writings were well received and were later published as Poems by Charles Warren Stoddard. Poor health compelled him to give up his plans for a college education. He tried a career on the stage without success.
Download or read book The Rocky Mountain Goat Classic Reprint written by Madison Grant and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rocky Mountain Goat HE white or Rocky Mountain goat shares with the musk-ox the honor of being the least known of the game animals of North America and descriptions of it written even as recently as ten years ago are valueless, as in many cases this animal is confused with white mountain sheep and even with deer. The explanation of this lack of knowledge lies in the extremely re mote and inaccessible habitat of the goat, which begins in the northwestern United States, among the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains and of the coast'ranges and extends north, through British Columbia, into Alaska. The material in most natural histories, relating to this animal, is scanty and based on very inadequate information, since the opportunity to see and hunt it has not been granted to many. In captivity, we have had, on the Atlantic coast, only eight immature specimens, two in Boston in 1899, two in Philadelphia in 1893, and the four now (1905) living in the New York Zoological Park. One well grown male is living at this time in the 'london Zoological Garden. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Wonderland to Alaska The readers of the times, while they will be pleased to hear of the safe return of our esteemed townsman, Rev. Wm. H. Myers, from his trip to Alaska, will no doubt be sorry to miss a continuation of the graphically-written'letters of travel which he has contributed to the columns of this paper for several months past. These letters lhaye called out many com plimentary expressions from among a large circle of admlring readers, and the general consensus of Opinion is that in point of close observation, fine descriptive power, felicity of expression, the apt use of his torical incidents with which the writer ih terwove his interesting narrative, these letters possess a value and literary attract iveness that entitles them to more than the mere passing interest that attaches to a newspaper publication.
