Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the West and the Pioneers Permit me to enlarge upon this view of the West by suggest ing that it is something more than a geographical area - some thing apart from mountains and rivers and prairies and plains. My thought has been aptly expressed by a recent writer, ' who declares that the West has no fixed geographical limits like the South and New England. It is something more than a geograph ical term. Like Boston, it is a state of mind. There are moun tains and rivers and oceans within the limits of which this state of mind is preeminently to be found, but it is to be recognized in other regions as well. You can tell a Westerner as you can tell a Southerner, sometimes by his speech, always by his attitude to ward life. The best definition of this greater West which I am now at. Tempting to suggest, is brie y this: The West is where a man is; the East is where he or his father came from. The West is the frontier; it stands for the latest epoch, the most recent stage in the progressive history of mankind. The West is vitality, progress, creation personified. Thus the history of the West becomes the story of evolving, developing, progressive mankind the story of the pioneers, to which America has contributed the latest chapter. As a locality the West may be shifting, but as a state of mind it is America in the making. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of the West: A True Narrative In presenting this volume to the public, the author offers it as a simple tale of every-day life on the Western Plains, told in the simplest manner. And dealing, as it does, largely with scenes and incidents pertaining to the opening and building up of a new Western country, it necessarily contains considerable local historical matter. And the author has, at the same time, endeavored strictly to guard against making any statements not drawn from his personal knowledge and experience. There is nothing fanciful or imaginary in the story. The narrative simply depicts some of the phases of frontier life necessarily involved in the settling up of a new Western country at the time of which it treats. And, although the author and his family are the chief actors, playing the principal parts in the actual life-drama, many phases of their experiences will apply equally to the early settlers in general. So, then, it is not fiction; but it is said that "truth is stranger than fiction." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Pioneers of the West Classic Reprint written by George S. Bryan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of the West It is said that by 1700 it was possible, in journeying from southern Virginia to Portland, Maine, to pass each night in a sizable village. Westward movement into unoccupied lands gradually became for Americans no less inevitable than their struggle toward political independence. With that movement began what has well been termed the second American colonial period; and a new race arose - the American pioneers. To the able if arrogant Lieutenant-Governor Spotswood of Virginia belongs the honor of having been, so far as definite records are concerned, the first explorer of the Appalachians. About his expedition of 1716 clings a suggestion of the romance that surrounds the Spanish conquistadores, "with lance and helm and prancing steed, glittering through the wilderness." With a party of fifty he climbed the Blue Ridge by way of the upper Rappahannock; crossed the Shenandoah, which he christened Euphrates; and took solemn possession for His Majesty George the First. Having taken eight weeks to cover 440 miles, he returned to Williamsburg preceded inscribed: Sic juvat transcendere montes (Thus 'tis our pleasure to go o'er the mountains) - the allusion being to the fact that for mountain-work the horses had been shod with iron shoes, not then used in lowland Virginia. This picturesque enterprise led to nothing. The first white men to cross the Great Mountains and enter the central plain were probably wandering hunters who, in following game-trails, also followed streams to the sources and penetrated many a clove and notch. Southwestward from Central Pennsylvania the Appalachians run in parallel ranges through West Virginia and Virginia, eastern Tennessee and the western Carolinas, into northern Georgia. Along the furrows between these parallel ridges, emigrants from Pennsylvania began about the middle of the eighteenth century to pass toward the new country they called "the West."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Days The stories of early frontier life here pre sented, which are taken from the early his tories of the West and from lives of the frontiersmen and pioneers written by con temporaries and eye-witnesses, introduce the reader to an intimate acquaintance with the Indian races of the country which lies east of the Rocky Mountains. The savage warrior and hunter is presented, stripped of all the decorations with which writers of fiction have dressed him. He is seen in his ferocity and gentleness, in his rascality and nobility, in his boyhood, manhood and old age, and in his wis dom and ignognce. The accuracy and truth of these descriptions of the life and adventures of the period cannot be questioned, and they give us a vivid and inspiring picture of the con ditions under which part of our country was opened up for civilization.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discoverers and Pioneers of America The planet that heralds the sunrise, may be a volcanic waste, like the moon, or scathed with the fires of sin, like the earth; and so the morning stars of heroism, that guided and illumined the first advances of a noon-day civilization to this Western World, were not all as cultivated and pure as those followers of the one bright and morning Star, who colonized the shores of Plymouth and the banks of the Delaware.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy's Book of Pioneers The great west and north-west of north america has always had a fascination for people; it would seem to be the happy hunting ground of our dreams - the place where a man may live in touch with wild nature, and feel the lash of the wind, the keen smack of the icy air - where real, hard, virile life is to be found and lived. Who of us has not revelled in the stories of the old-time pioneers of the west? Well, here is the story of one of those men - the first white man to venture across into the great unknown. The early history of pierre radisson, the french-canadian who opened up the west, may be summed up as follows: when but just oyer sixteen years of age, he left the fort at three rivers, on the north bank of the st. Lawrence, on a hunting jaunt with a couple of young friends, and was captured by iroquois and carried inland to the mohawk country. He was adopted into the tribe of mohawks, and became a good hunter whilst dwelling amongst them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
