Sounds Of The Prairie Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Heart of the Prairie Not so many years ago, when the facilities for travel were different from what they are now, a great deal of rubbish and erroneous impressions were disseminated by so called literature purporting to deal with adventures and phases of life in certain little-known places of the earth. There are some authors who still think that no matter how absurd and misleading their local colouring may be, the pictorial element is everything. I venture to think otherwise. In my rolling-stone experience I have found fact much stranger than fiction, and have gleaned from real life and nature a knowledge of men and things which stands me in better stead than any flight of the imagination - useful to weavers of stories as that faculty is. I can, at least, claim truthfulness of detail for this story, as I lived for some years in that wild and fascinating portion of "The Great Lone Land," described in these pages, as a mounted police officer in charge of that part of the frontier So, the cowboys, the mounted policemen, the Indians, and even the bears and the smugglers, are all old friends of mine.
