Book Description
Excerpt from A Colorado Colonel, and Other Sketches Something unusual was evidently taking place on those early - summer days when the soft winds swept like a caress over the prairies and in at the open windows of the Har grave cottage. An old green trunk had been brought from its hiding-place in the attic, and ransacked, repaired, and many times packed and repacked in order that it might go again into the busy world to which it had for many years now been a stranger, a trunk in whose tray was a bundle of letters and dim daguerreotypes daintily tied with a bit of blue ribbon on which were faded spots, tear-stains or time-stains, who knows? - things that were yet very precious to their owner, Rebecca Norwood, (aunt Be becca, she was generally called, ) the maiden aunt of Agnes Hargrave. They were about to go away for the summer, were Agnes and her aunt, and when two women, one of whom is an invalid of uncertain years, make ready for such a journey there is, as Col. Ferguson once said of a fright ful railroad wreck from which he barely escaped with his life, more or less mixed confusion.

Excerpt from Mr. Dide His Vacation in Colorado: And Other Sketches He seemed a little puzzled when I said I might indulge in a bit of angling. Perhaps he had never fished through the ice, or was not aware that the art of angling depended upon other things than bait and hook and line, or was not aware, in fact, that these tools might be dispensed with, and the votary of the gentle art still be successful.

Book Description
Excerpt from Peak and Prairie: From a Colorado Sketch-Book And suggestions caught from time to time by a single observer in a comparatively narrow field of observation. Narrow as the field is, how ever, it offers a somewhat unusual diversity of scene; for that most charming of health resorts known in these pages as Springtown, is the chance centre of many varying interests. In its immediate vicinity exists the life of the prairie ranch on the one hand and that of the mining-camp on the other while dominating all as it were - town, prairie, and mountain fastness - rises the great Peak which has now for so many years been the goal of pilgrimage to men and women from the Eastern States in pursuit of health, of fortune, or of the free, open air life of the prairie. If, from acquaintance with these fictitious characters set in a very real environment, the reader be led to form.

Excerpt from Colorado The latest account you have had of me is $515; a few days before landing at New York, so I must try to pick up my story from there. All you will probably hear is a few short lines at times from different places, just to say where and how I am, and this journal will have to supply the place of long letters, and be sent round after I get home again.

Excerpt from Letters From Colorado Seen as now, e'er life had tried them, They appear a motley set; Innocent of all ambition, Plan nor purpose outlined yet; Caring naught beyond the compass Of what joy the days beget. Till, as ever among numbers Thought is centered on a few, Dwindles down that host of actors Till it circles only two.

Excerpt from The Colorado Volunteers Camp Adams was, upon our arrival, in its in fancy. A few of the companies had arrived and staked their claims, but many were yet to come. At six o'clock that evening the first guard was mounted and all night long the still ness was only broken by the rolling call of the sentries as the announcement of the hour went around the camp on the crisp, cold air: Twelve o'clock and a - a - all's well. All through the night, troops continued to arrive, pitch tents and settle down, and when the morning of the twenty-ninth broke, bright and clear, Camp Adams was a reality.

Excerpt from Three Years and a Half, in the Army: Or History of the Second Colorados In placing this work before the public the author has but one aim; that is, to give to the Soldiers of Colorado a record which shall impart pleasure to themselves, their families and friends; the reading of it will take them over the same ground again, through the same hardships, showing their powers of endurance, of bravery and valor; bringing to mind no doubt much of personal knowledge which the author could not reach, hence it is missing, but she trusts they will grant she has done the best possible with the means at command, trying to make it an interesting, truthful account of brave acts and deeds, with all reverance, respect and kindness for the soldiers of Colorado whose hardships with her husband she shared.

Excerpt from Songs of Colorado: And Other Places She hath established her dals, the young-eyed queen, Colorado! She dwells with the winds and the eagles; the height of the land is her footstool; Her strong hands, lifted in worship, or folded in calm meditation, She looketh afar, undaunted unheeding the baubles we sigh for.
