Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Long Portage There were streaks of snow on some of them, for win ter threatened to close in unusually early. With a lowering sky overhead and the daylight beginning to fade, it was a desolate picture; one into which the lonely figure of the man in tattered deerskin jacket and shapeless hat somehow fitted. His attire matched the gray-white coloring of rock and boulder; his spare form and agile movements, together with the intentness of his bronzed face and the steadiness of his eyes, hinted at the quickness of observation, the stub born endurance, and the tireless activity, by which alone life can be maintained in the savage North. He had the alertness of the wild creatures of the waste; and it was needed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Portage Path The Center Of Indian Communication Long before Lake Erie was located on the map of the world, or the La Belle Riviere known to the geographers of Europe, many decades before the Argonauts of civilization had penetrated westward beyond the St Lawrence, great aboriginal highways existed connecting the distant waters of the large lakes with the great salt sea, and with the mighty Mississippi, the father of all living rivers on the wild American continent. Journey with us to that distant, forest-clad land, and pass over with us some of these ancient trails that push their winding, tortuous way by the banks of sedgy lakes, across wide and swift rivers, or else following the early conformation of the shore line of the immense fresh water lakes, or striking out into the heart of the wilderness for hundreds of miles, turning, twisting but: ever moving forward to a known objective point without loss of time. These were the highways of that restless, adventurous, migratory race or races which held tha country by virtue of original possession. Along these routes they came with swift and tireless feet, bent, either upon the delights of the chase, or upon the much-to-be-desired war of the race. W ar brought distinction, made mighty chiefs, furnished an exercise for their naturally cruel instincts, brought plunder and pelf and profit; abounded in change of scene, exciting episodes and startling features. Its climaxes were not always pleasant or desirable, but they were accepted with the stoic philosophy of the red man as the fortune of war. Along these lengthening trails came and went these feather-bedecked, sinister-painted, wild men of the forest. Swiftly, surely, without noise or bluster, these hyenas of the wilderness sped on their...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Transport Road At sunrise, our native transport-riders began to inspan, at least a couple of hours too late. Then they went across for coffee with the concertina-player, and, after that, the driver of our wagon remembered that he was short of tobacco, and made a tour round the outspan, endeavouring to borrow some. Meanwhile, the unfortunate cattle, hungry, thirsty - they had had no water for over twenty four hours - weary, even before they had started to plough through the eleven miles of heavy sand ahead of them, stood with heads hanging down, as though the mere weight of the yokes was too much for them, appar ently too listless even to try and flick Off the loathsome flies which swarmed round them in thousands. The sun was well above the trees when we finally trekked away from that unwholesome spot. Within the first half mile, every one of our wagons had stuck in the sand, and had had to be hooked out by the other spans; and, raw though we were, we had already dis covered that, not only were the cattle leg - weary and hungry, but their lack of training made them practically valueless at the moment.

Download or read book Old Fort Sandoski and the De Lery Portage written by Lucy Elliot Keeler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Fort Sandoski and the De Lery Portage: Erection of Historical Tablets on Memorial Day, May 30, 1912 at Port Clinton, Ohio Local history has its renascence in tradition, which passes along from generation to generation hints of names and adven tures, which appeal at last to some student of the past and send him forth in quest of sources. Such traditions have long lingered about the little peninsula at Port Clinton, in Ottawa County, Ohio: traditions of venturesome French monks and traders; of an ancient fort, destroyed and rebuilt and destroyed again; of British redcoats and Rangers, Pontiac's savages and Dalyell the avenger; of Bradstreet; and finally of William Henry Harrison building a brush fence to corral several thousand war horses, while their riders sailed away on the ships of Commodore Per ry to finish, on the banks of the Canadian Thames, the one vic torious military campaign of the second American war with Great Britain. The wealth of recent discoveries bestirred by such tra ditions materialized in the recent erection of two simple but handsome monuments bearing six historical tablets which were unveiled with interesting ceremonies at Port Clinton, on Memor ial Day, May 30, 1912. Two pyramidal monuments of boulders stand two miles apart, at either end of what is known as the de Lery Portage of formerly Fulton Street and Road; the one marking the site of Old Fort Sandoski of 1745, faces Sandusky Bay, oppo site the mouth of the Sandusky River; the other the Harrison Perry Embarkation monument, overlooks Lake Erie near the old mouth of the Portage River. These termini, together with the short land portage connecting them, teem with history as absorbing as any in this country; and it is most appropriate and gratifying that they are finally worthily 'marked, and their story narrated in enduring bronze for every passerlby to read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An irresistible and bittersweet coming-of-age story in the vein of Stranger Things and Stand by Me about a group of misfit kids who spend an unforgettable summer investigating local ghost stories and urban legends "A celebration of the secret lives of children, both their wonders and their horrors . . . Immensely enjoyable, piercingly clever, and satisfyingly soulful." -Jason Heller, NPR Growing up in 1980s Niagara Falls - a seedy but magical, slightly haunted place - Jake Baker spends most of his time with his uncle Calvin, a kind but eccentric enthusiast of occult artifacts and conspiracy theories. The summer Jake turns twelve, he befriends a pair of siblings new to town, and so Calvin decides to initiate them all into the "Saturday Night Ghost Club." But as the summer goes on, what begins as a seemingly light-hearted project may ultimately uncover more than any of its members had imagined. With the alternating warmth and sadness of the best coming-of-age stories, The Saturday Night Ghost Club is a note-perfect novel that poignantly examines the haunting mutability of memory and storytelling, as well as the experiences that form the people we become, and establishes Craig Davidson as a remarkable literary talent.
