Excerpt from Sheldon Jackson: Pathfinder and Prospector of the Missionary Vanguard in the Rocky Mountains and Alaska During the half-century which preceded this period, the United States, by purchase, by conquest and by diplomacy, had acquired a magnificent domain of virgin territory, which extended from the Mississippi and the Gulf Of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean and the Shores Of Puget Sound. Into this New West, then an unknown and almost nu inhabited land, - a land Of mystery and desert solitudes and deadly perils - a few resolute settlers had gone, fol lowing the trail of the hunters and trappers, in the stir ring days of the forties. Up to the middle of the cen tury, however, there were very few, even of the most ad venturous of these forerunners of civilization, who had any adequate realization of the vast extent and boundless possibilities of this princely heritage. The discovery of gold on the Pacific coast in 1848 was a divinely ordained event which directed the attention of the whole nation to the Far West, and suggested to the men of action and intelligence, whose faces were stead fastly set towards it, the possibility of an overland route to the goal Of their ambition on the Pacific slope.

Charles Warren Stoddard (August 7, 1843 - April 23, 1909) was an American author and editor best known for his travel books about Polynesian life. Stoddard began writing verses at a young age amid the growing literary climate of California. His first published work saw print in The Golden Era for September 1862 under the pseudonym "Pip Pepperpod". He later recalled how he clandestinely slipped his contribution into the Era's mailbox without anyone knowing: "No member of my family suspected that I was so bold as to dream of entering the circle of the elect who wrote regularly every week for the chief literary organ west of the Rocky Mountains".

Over the Rocky Mountains to Alaska By Charles Warren Stoddard There was no sleep during the closing night-not one solitary wink; all laws were dead-letters-alas that they should so soon arise again from the dead!-and when the wreath of stars that crowns the golden statue of Our Lady on the high dome, two hundred feet in air, and the wide-sweeping crescent under her shining feet, burst suddenly into flame, and shed a lustre that was welcomed for miles and miles over the plains of Indiana-then, I assure you, we were all so deeply touched that we knew not whether to laugh or to weep, and I shall not tell you which we did. The moon was very full that night, and I didn't blame it!

Newspaper accounts of avalanche accidents from the 1860s through 1950 have been compiled, summarized, and discussed. Many of the avalanches that caused fatalities came down rather small, innocuous-looking paths. Land use planners can use historical avalanche information as a reminder of the power of snow avalanches and to assure rational development in the future.

This book examines the nexus between exploring and tourism and argues that exploration travel – based heavily on explorer narratives and the promises of personal challenges and change – is a major trend in future tourism. In particular, it analyses how romanticised myths of explorers form a foundation for how modern day tourists view travel and themselves. Its scope ranges from the 'Golden Age' of imperial explorers in the 19th and early 20th centuries, through the growth of adventure and extreme tourism, to possible future trends including space travel. The volume should appeal to researchers and students across a variety of disciplines, including tourism studies, sociology, geography and history.

This carefully edited collection has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Owen Wister (1860-1938) was an American writer and "father" of western fiction. When he started writing, he naturally inclined towards fiction set on the western frontier. Wister's most famous work remains the novel The Virginian, set in the Wild West. It describes the life of a cowboy who is a natural aristocrat, set against a highly mythologized version of the Johnson County War and taking the side of the large land owners. The Virginian paved the way for many more westerns by such authors as Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, and several others. It is also widely regarded as being the first cowboy novel.

Excerpt from The Rocky Mountain Goat HE white or Rocky Mountain goat shares with the musk-ox the honor of being the least known of the game animals of North America and descriptions of it written even as recently as ten years ago are valueless, as in many cases this animal is confused with white mountain sheep and even with deer. The explanation of this lack of knowledge lies in the extremely re mote and inaccessible habitat of the goat, which begins in the northwestern United States, among the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains and of the coast'ranges and extends north, through British Columbia, into Alaska. The material in most natural histories, relating to this animal, is scanty and based on very inadequate information, since the opportunity to see and hunt it has not been granted to many. In captivity, we have had, on the Atlantic coast, only eight immature specimens, two in Boston in 1899, two in Philadelphia in 1893, and the four now (1905) living in the New York Zoological Park. One well grown male is living at this time in the 'london Zoological Garden. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
