The Quadroon: Adventures in the Far West by Mayne Reid Pdf

Father of Waters! I know thee well. In the land of a thousand lakes, on the summit of the “Hauteur de terre,” I have leaped thy tiny stream. Upon the bosom of the blue lakelet, the fountain of thy life, I have launched my birchen boat; and yielding to thy current, have floated softly southward. I have passed the meadows where the wild rice ripens on thy banks, where the white birch mirrors its silvery stem, and tall coniferae fling their pyramid shapes, on thy surface. I have seen the red Chippewa cleave thy crystal waters in his bark canoe—the giant moose lave his flanks in thy cooling flood—and the stately wapiti bound gracefully along thy banks. I have listened to the music of thy shores—the call of the cacawee, the laugh of the wa-wa goose, and the trumpet-note of the great northern swan. Yes, mighty river! Even in that far northern land, thy wilderness home, have I worshipped thee!...FROM THE BOOKS.

Adventures in the Far West by William Henry Giles Kingston Pdf

ÒI say, didnÕt you hear a cry?Ó exclaimed Charley Fielding, starting up from the camp fire at which we were seated discussing our evening meal of venison, the result of our dayÕs hunting. He leaned forward in the attitude of listening. ÒIÕm sure I heard it! There it is again, but whether uttered by Redskin or four-footed beast is more than I can say.Ó We all listened, but our ears were not as sharp as CharleyÕs, for we could hear nothing. ÒSit down, Charley, my boy, and finish your supper. It was probably fancy, or maybe the hoot of an owl to its mate,Ó said our jovial companion, Dick Buntin, who never allowed any matter to disturb him, if he could help it, while engaged in stowing away his food. Dick had been a lieutenant in the navy, and had knocked about the world in all climes, and seen no small amount of service. He had lately joined our party with Charley Fielding, a fatherless lad whom he had taken under his wing. We, that is Jack Story and myself, Tom Rushforth, had come out from England together to the far west, to enjoy a few monthsÕ buffalo hunting, deer stalking, grizzly and panther shooting, and beaver trapping, not to speak of the chances of an occasional brush with the Redskins, parties of whom were said to be on the war-path across the regions it was our intention to traverse, though none of us were inclined to be turned aside by the warnings we had received to that effect from our friends down east. We had been pushing on further and further west, gaining experience, and becoming inured to the fatigues and dangers of a hunterÕs life. Having traversed Missouri and Kansas, though we had hitherto met with no adventures worthy of note, we had that evening pitched our camp in the neighbourhood of Smoky-hill fork, the waters of which, falling into the Arkansas, were destined ultimately to reach the far-off Mississippi.

Leni-Leoti; or, Adventures in the Far West by Emerson Bennett Pdf

'Leni-Leoti; or, Adventures in the Far West' is an adventure novel written by Emerson Bennett. It was set on the last day of May, in the year 1843. Already the earth felt the genial air of summer, and looked as smiling as a gay maiden in her teens. The blade had covered the ground with a carpet of matchless green, amid which, their lovely faces half concealed, bright flowers of a hundred varieties, peeped modestly forth to render the landscape enchanting, giving their sweet breath to a southern breeze that softly stole over them. The trees in every direction were in full foliage, and already among them could be seen green bunches of embryo fruits.
