If once he drink from snow-pure crystal fountain His thirst shall, ever more consuming, burn With deepened draughts from common stream.

Book Description
Excerpt from In the Heart of the Rockies: A Story of Adventure in Colorado Paid several visits to the country in 1878 and the following years in quest of sport, and was the first white man to penetrate the recesses of the higher mountains.

Knocking Round the Rockies

Pages : 236
Book Description
Excerpt from Knocking Round the Rockies: Illustrated It was, my good fortune, In 1874, to become attached to the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories, through the invitation of its chief. This led to my making a foot-and-saddle campaign through the southern part of the Rocky Mountains. It was so enjoyable and profitable a summer, that I have since availed myself of every opportunity to explore the fastnesses of those noble ranges, and I now propose to refresh pleasant recollections by recounting some experiences - none of which were startling, it may as well be said to start with. If the reader should chance to recognize something he has read before, he should remember that I have dredged the material for these pages out of the deep sea of magazine* and newspaper files where they sunk, years ago, after the briefest possible surface-existence.

A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains
Author: Isabella L. BirdPublisher:
ISBN: 9780359013838
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This evocative and lively travelogue by Isabella L. Bird lifts the veil of the culture of Colorado and the Rocky Mountains as it was in the 1870s. We find in this classic travel book an authentic and eloquent portrayal of the beautiful peaks and breath-taking landscapes of rural North America. Braving the craggy landscape on horseback and on foot, the author manages to conquer some of the area's most awe-inspiring ranges, while also observing life in several settlements and towns around the state of Colorado. The sheer toughness of the author shines through each of her letters. Her descriptions do not flinch from accuracy, as she notes the sub-zero temperatures, fierce drafts of wind, and other perils of the untamed landscape. Most notably of all however is Isabella Bird's steely determination and doggedness in confronting, and surmounting, the Rocky Mountains.
The Book of the Damned
Author: Charles FortPublisher: Library of Alexandria
ISBN: 1613106424
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
"Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.
