Excerpt from Trails to Woods and Waters It is with a feeling of awe and wonder that I take up each new boook from the pen of Clarence Hawkes. Here is the born nature-lover, the woodsman, the chronicler and the painter of mental pictures who for a few brief years looked into the pulsing heart of Nature, focused his mental camera upon her during a few brilliant days, and then suddenly, with a stroke like lightning, all the world became dark. The work of Clarence Hawkes marks the triumph of an indomitable human Soul over darkness and despair. With marvellous fidelity he paints what he has seen and yet remembers, and for the rest he gathers his share of wild animal lore, - just as we all do, - from the hunter, the trapper, the birdman and the brother naturalist.

Excerpt from Woods and Waters, Or, the Saranacs and Racket: With Map of the Route and Nine Illustrations on Wood The wilderness Northern New York is a plateau ranging from fifteen to eighteen hundred feet above tide. It is one hundred miles in diameter. On the north and east it approaches within thirty or forty miles of the Canada line and Lake Champlain; on the south, within fifteen or twenty miles of the Mohawk River, and on the west, within the same distance of Black River. It embraces nearly the whole of Essex, Warren, and Hamilton Counties, the southwest portion of Clinton, the south half of Franklin, the southeastern third of St. Lawrence, the eastern third of Lewis, and the northern half of Herkimer. Different portions of it are known under different names. The northern portion is called The Chateaugay Woods; The St. Regis Woods lie next below; then comes the Saranac Region; then that of Racket Lake; to the east extend the Adirondacks; and below, south and southwesterly, are The Lake Pleasant Region, and John Brown's Tract. The eastern portion of the plateau is exceedingly mountainous. Here lies the Adirondack range, or group, the most northerly in the State, extending in a general northeast direction from Little Falls, on the Mohawk River, to Cape Trembleau at Lake Champlain. This range presents the conical summits cloven into sharp grey peaks peculiar to its hypersthene formation, and attains in some of its peaks nearly the height of one mile - almost the limit of eternal snow.

Excerpt from Cross Trails: The Story of One Woman in the North Woods Stepping out into the street, she vented her relief in a sigh that was quite premature, for in the looks of the three lumberjacks who had just stepped on the porch was no hint of the consideration displayed inside. Huge hulks of men, their natural roughness was accentuated by their dress, the moose-skin coats, moccasins, thick arctic socks pulled on over heavy blue overalls, which added to their bulk and gave them the uncouth look and rolling gait of so many bears. While the faces of two displayed merely the coarse animalism of the type, in the third this was adulterated by an expression of vicious cunning and fired by a certain ferocity that glowed in his curiously red, lidless eyes. In pass ing they stared in her face, then turned and looked after. Replying to the third man's com ment, the other two burst out with hoarse guffaws that caused her to tingle with anger and shame.

Excerpt from Field and Forest Friends: A Boy's World and How He Discovered It The trail to woods and waters was a double one that I followed with eager feet in the happy days Of boyhood. The first branch of this winding trail started just under an Old pair of bars, where we let the cows through from a crooked lane into the barnyard. Each morning I let down these bars, and started the cows for pasture and each night I put them up again when the cows were driven home.

Excerpt from Trail Tales IN his young manhood the writer of these sketches came up into this realm of widest vision, clearest skies, sweetest waters, and happiest people to engraft the green twig of his life upon the activities of the mountaineers of the thrilling West. At that time the vast plains and the bar ren valleys were silvered over with the ubiquitous sage through which crept lazily and aimlessly the many unharnessed arroyo making streams waiting only the appearance of their master, man. Under his seien tific, skilled, and economic guidance these wild waters, lassoed, tamed, and set to work, taking the place of clouds where there are none, were soon to cause the gray garden of nature to become goldened by the well-nigh illimitable acres of grain and other home-making products.

Excerpt from The Long Trail My father had done much hunting with many and varied friends. I have often heard him say of some one whom I had thought an ideal hunting companion: He's a good fellow, but he was always fishing about in the pot for the best piece of meat, and if there was but one partridge shot, he would try to roast it for himself. If there was any delicacy he wanted more than his share. Things assume such dif ferent proportions in the wilds; after two months living on palm-tree t0ps and mon keys, a ten-cent can of condensed milk bought for three dollars from a rubber ex plorer far exceeds in value the greatest delicacy of the season to the ordinary citi zen who has a varied and sufficient menu at his command every day in the year.

The acclaimed travel writer's youthful journey - as an 18-year-old - across 1930s Europe by foot began in A Time of Gifts, which covered the author's exacting journey from the Lowlands as far as Hungary. Picking up from the very spot on a bridge across the Danube where his readers last saw him, we travel on with him across the great Hungarian Plain on horseback, and over the Romanian border to Transylvania. The trip was an exploration of a continent which was already showing signs of the holocaust which was to come. Although frequently praised for his lyrical writing, Fermor's account also provides a coherent understanding of the dramatic events then unfolding in Middle Europe. But the delight remains in travelling with him in his picaresque journey past remote castles, mountain villages, monasteries and towering ranges.
God only knows what possessed Bill Bryson, a reluctant adventurer if ever there was one, to undertake a gruelling hike along the world's longest continuous footpath—The Appalachian Trail. The 2,000-plus-mile trail winds through 14 states, stretching along the east coast of the United States, from Georgia to Maine. It snakes through some of the wildest and most spectacular landscapes in North America, as well as through some of its most poverty-stricken and primitive backwoods areas. With his offbeat sensibility, his eye for the absurd, and his laugh-out-loud sense of humour, Bryson recounts his confrontations with nature at its most uncompromising over his five-month journey. An instant classic, riotously funny, A Walk in the Woods will add a whole new audience to the legions of Bill Bryson fans.
