Présentation de l'éditeur

Yet, like the youth of all ages, he is full of the spirit of adventure, possibly inherited from his forebears, who saw duty, in the army, or as pioneers on the far western plains. When our gallant little army fought its way across the continent to the Pacific coast, in the days now gone forever, it was regarded as the school of heroic endeavor for the youth of our nation. As well it might be, for the highway from east to west now happily spanned by the rails of commerce and peace was for more than a hundred years a trail of blood and death. And following back the course of the pioneers, it takes but a short stretch of the imagination to carry us to the heroic days of the fair-haired, blue-eyed Norsemen, who, impelled by the spirit of adventure, took to their ships after the farming season was over and sailed the seas near and far.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
