Excerpt from On the Plains in '65 A night parade through the streets of the Queen City, then a camp during the remainder of the night on the streets, and next morning we were loaded into three trams bound for St. Louis via. The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. Had not a dreadful collision occurred near Carlisle, in which We lost several men and nearly all our horses, the trip would not be worth noticing. Reader, have you ever witnessed a collision of railroad trains loaded with soldiers and all their munitions of war, together with several hundred horses? If not, don't pine for the Spectacle. It is one of those things which it is easier to imagine than look upon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Tent of the Plains Tent of the Plains. Sunsets. Or sunsets made of dross and fire. Clouds Rugged as an Orator. Clouds rugged as an orator, Or graced with many a poet's charm. Skies. Or sunn'd or dark or moon-ed skies. Clouds, Their Mystical Moments. Or clouds their mystical moments when They're incense to the solitary moon. Morning-Wealth. When morning pours her dandelions In the coffers of the wind, And softly tells them o'er and o'er. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Son of the Plains A brown line of sandy track six hundred miles long, and fifteen to fifty yards broad, beaten out of the prairie by the hoofs of countless oxen, sheep, and horses, and the feet of men, - such is that great emigrants' thoroughfare from East to West known as the Santa Fe trail. The source of the trail is at Van Buren City, Arkan sas; it ends at Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, and so vast has been the traffic over it that even the tough prairie grass has yielded up its life, and not a blade is left upon the track for fully four hundred miles.

Excerpt from The Children on the Plains: A Story of Travel and Adventure From the Missouri to the Rocky Mountains One after another among them had been stricken with cholera, and they had dotted the road along which they had passed with the fresh graves of their companions. When fairly on the plains their difficulties had daily increased, and the fatal disease seemed gaining ground among them. That night they had come to a decision. It was but five days since they passed Fort Leavenworth; they would go no further into the wilderness. They would turn back to the States, and exchange their golden dreams of California for hard work once more and a home of tolerable comfort.

Excerpt from On the Plains: Selections From the Youth's Companion The hull or foundation of the prairie schooner is a double box about twelve and one-half feet long. This box is usually three and a half feet wide, though many pioneers extend the upper box a foot on each side and support it by, iron braces. A wagon sheet stretched over four or five good elm bows covers the box, which does not, however, comprise the whole carrying capacity of'the schooner. Secured behind the box will be seen a large packing-case, with front, rear or sides of slats or woven wire. This coop is the home for the long journey of perhaps a dozen hens, the nucleus for a flock at the new home. Biddy is worth, even during the journey, a good deal more than the small trouble of carrying her. She supplies the family with fresh eggs every day, for the fatigues of the voyage do not turn her from the regularity of her habits, nor seem to upset her nervous system. The door of the coop is opened when the schooner stops for the evening c& out fly the hens, and then how the dust flies! Such a fluttering, scratching and cackling! Such running after grasshoppers and. Other insects But the sinking sun soon warns them that it is time for all good fowls to go to roost; they fly up to the box as naturally as if they had never slept elsewhere; the door is closed and they are ready for another day's drive. On top of the hen-coop are piled chairs, stovepipes and other light, bulky articles; boxes are fastened outside the wagon, at every convenient place to carry tools, cooking utensils and other articles. On one side, held in position by iron rods, may be a keg holding five or ten gallons of water, a prime necessity, that must be carried over many miles of the American desert.

Excerpt from The Horsemen of the Plains: A Story of the Great Cheyenne War A boy sat in a little room in the frontier town of Omaha. It was a poor and cheap place. A flimsy table stood in one corner, an equally flimsy bed in another, and one or two pictures from newspapers were tacked on the bare, pine walls. There was no carpet on the floor. Nothing showed quality, except a rifle that lay across the foot of the bed. The weapon was a fine breech-loader, advanced in type for the time, and a skilful hand had carved initials and several graceful little decorations on the stock. Any one would surmise that it was highly prized by its owner. The boy himself was a match for his rifle, a stalwart youth, seventeen years old, with the stat ure and strength of a man. His brown hair, cut short, curled just a little, and his blue eyes were set wide apart, as they usually are in those of large minds. His face was brown with tan, but, at the edge of the collar, his fair white skin showed. A comely boy, and a strong and brave one, as the most casual observer would have inferred. But he was dressed poorly, and the look upon his face, just now, was not cheerful, although his was a nature disposed to see the better side of things.
