Download or read book On the Frontier Classic Reprint written by Bret Harte and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Frontier It was noon of August 10, 1838. The monotonous coast line between Monterey and San Diego had set its hard outlines against the steady glare of the Californian sky and the metallic glitter of the Pacific Ocean. The weary succession of rounded, dome-like hills obliterated all sense of distance; the rare whaling vessel, or still rarer trader, drifting past, saw no change in these rusty undulations, barren of distinguishing peak or headland, and bald of wooded crest or timbered ravine. The withered ranks of wild oats gave a dull procession of uniform colour to the hills, unbroken by any relief of shadow in their smooth round curves. As far as the eye could reach, sea and shore met in one bleak monotony, flecked by no passing cloud, stirred by no sign of life or motion. Even sound was absent; the Angelus rung from the invisible Mission tower far inland, was driven back again by the steady north-west trades that for half the year had swept the coast line and left it abraded of all umbrage and colour. But even this monotony soon gave way to a change, and another monotony as uniform and depressing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Last American Frontier Classic Reprint written by Frederic Logan Paxson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last American Frontier I Have told here the story of the last frontier within the United States, trying at once to preserve the picturesque atmosphere which has given to the "Far West" a definite and well-understood meaning, and to indicate those forces which have shaped the history of the country beyond the Mississippi. In doing it I have had to rely largely upon my own investigations among sources little used and relatively inaccessible. The exact citations of authority, with which I might have crowded my pages, would have been out of place in a book not primarily intended for the use of scholars. But I hope, before many years, to exploit in a larger and more elaborate form the mass of detailed information upon which this sketch is based. My greatest debts are to the owners of the originals from which the illustrations for this book have been made; to Claude H. Van Tyne, who has repeatedly aided me with his friendly criticism; and to my wife, whose careful readings have saved me from many blunders in my text.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Red-Blooded Heroes of the Frontier Pecos, which they knew had its source indefinitely in the north, a practicable route to market should be possible. But the trouble was to reach the Pecos across the ninety intervening miles of waterless plateau called the Llano Estacado, or Staked Plain. This plain was christened by the early Spanish explorers who, looking out across its vast stretches, could note no landmark, and left behind them driven stakes to guide their return. An elevated tableland averaging about one hundred miles wide and extending four hundred miles north and south, it presents, approaching any where from the east or the west, an endless line of Sharply escarped bluffs from one hundred to two hun dred feet high that with their buttresses and re entrant angles look at a distance like the walls Of an enormous fortified town. And indeed it possesses riches well worth fortifying. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
