Lost In The Rockies A Story Of Adventure In The Rocky Mountains PDF Download

Excerpt from Lost in the Rockies: A Story of Adventure in the Rocky Mountains It is not often that a vigorous young man devoted to athletic sports and pastimes, fond of fishing and hunting, and a fine horseman, injures his health on account of too close application to study; but that is precisely what occurred in the case of Arlos Hay-man when he was only eighteen years of age. Arlos found, upon going back to his studies in the civil engineering school one autumn, that he had fallen woefully behind his class. He was so humiliated that he set his teeth with the grim resolution that he would forswear all amusement and exercise until he had fully made up his deficiencies. And he did it. Ho pulled up to the head of his class, only in the hour of triumph to collapse utterly. Had he not been accustomed to active, outdoor life, this might not have happened. His condition was alarming. Heroic measures were all that could save him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
