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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wilderness: A Journal of Quiet Adventure in Alaska The other two human characters in this adventuring quest after great and simple things are acquisitions to be thankful for, also; the touchingly tender-hearted, knight-like, beautiful, funny little boy; and lovable, dignified old Olson a fiction writer wonders in despair why old Olson so vividly, brilliantly lives in these unstudied pages, solid, breathing, warm, as miraculously different from all other human beings as any creature of esh and blood who draws the mysterious breath of life beside you in the same room. Fox Island lives too; we walk about it, treading solidly, loving every log and rotten stump, gnarled tree, every mound and path, the rocks and brooks, each a being in itself, just as little Rockwell does; and we climb with the two younger ones up the sheer, snow covered ridge till across the great jagged teeth of fenris-the-wolf, we see the glory of the open sea. We look up at Olson, swaying gigantic on the deck above us, as we bump the side in our little boat and we go down into the warm cabin full of the fumes of cooking and good-fellowship, and drink with the old skipper and the old Swede till we too see deep under the white hard surface of where life is hidden. All this firm earth gives authority and penetration to the shining beauty which pervades the book and the drawings, carries us along to share it, not merely to look at it; to feel it, not merely to admire it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Mount McKinley: The Story of Three Expeditions Through the Alaskan Wilderness to Mount McKinley, North America's Highest and Most Inaccessible Mountain Parker - has since been my pardner on many a rough wilderness trail. To those of my readers who have never felt the lure of the mountains, I will give a few reasons for our under taking so strange a task. The primal force at the base of all exploration is the call of the wild. Without this deep-seated love of adventure men would never be willing to meet the hardship that is waiting for them in the wilderness. But in addition to this there are many different sides of exploration, any one of which taken by itself is of sufficient interest to draw a man from civilisation. I know of no task more absorb ing than the mapping of an unknown territory; there is nothing more stimulating to the imagination than watching the growth of rivers and mountain chains on a topographer's plane-table. Equally absorbing is the geological interest of new country, which runs through the whole gamut of human emotions from the frenzy of the gold-mad prospector to the unselfish enthusiasm of the geologist. Then come the daily study and companionship of the wild life, from the smallest bird that dares a flight of thousands of miles to rear its young during the short arctic summer, to the big game herds that roam the storm-swept mountainsides. But always dominating man's endeavours is the struggle against the forces of nature - this is Life and when all is said, this is the world-old magnet that draws alike scientist, explorer, prospector, mountaineer, and hunter. This was the force that brought the men who joined our ventures, and they came from every walk of life. Without the love for the unknown they would never have undergone the hardships they bore so cheerfully. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wilderness Ways Indeed, it is hardly necessary for genuine interest to give human traits to the beasts. Any animal is inter esting enough as an animal, and has character enough of his own, without borrowing anything from man - as one may easily find out by watching long enough. Most wild creatures have but small measure of gentleness in them, and that only by instinct and at short stated sea sons. Hence I have given both sides and both kinds, the shadows and lights, the savagery as well as the gentleness of the wilderness creatures. It were pleasanter, to be sure, especially when you have been deeply touched by some exquisite bit of animal devo tion, to let it go at that, and to carry with you henceforth an ideal creature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Long Trail: A Story of the Northwest Wilderness For this ship contained a million dollars in gold: these seedy passengers carried great bags of nuggets and bottles of shining dust which they had burned, at risk of their lives, out of the perpetually frozen ground, so far in the north that the winter had no sun and the summer midnight had no dusk. The world was instantly filled with the stories of these men and of their tons of bullion. There was a moment of arrested attention - then the listeners smiled and nodded knowingly to each other, and went about their daily affairs. But other ships similarly laden crept laggardly through the gates of Puget Sound, bringing other miners with bags and bottles, and then the world believed. Thereafter the journals of all Christendom had to do with the "Klondike" and "The Golden River." Men could not hear enough or read enough of the mysterious Northwest.

Never were skies bluer, never did the golden sun-flood steep the endless forest lands in richer life-giving glory. Ridge after ridge the mountains swept on and fell away upon one side until in the vague distances they sank to the monotonous level of the Sacramento Valley; down there it was already summer, and fields were hot and brown. Ridge after ridge the mountains stretched on the other side, rising steadily, growing ever more august and mighty and rocky; on their crests across the blue gorges the snow was dazzling white and winter held stubbornly on at altitudes of seven thousand feet. Thus winter, springtime, and ripe, f ruit-dmpping summer coexisted, touching fingers across the seventy miles that lie be tween the icy top of the Sierra and the burning lowlands.
