Book Synopsis They of the High Trails (Classic Reprint) by : Hamlin Garland
Download or read book They of the High Trails (Classic Reprint) written by Hamlin Garland. This book was released on 2018-01-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from They of the High Trails M am Travelled Roads was composed, for the reason that I went to the High Country as to a summer playground. If a little of this joyousness of spirit inheres in the following pages, I am content to have it so, for the later mood is precisely as authentic as the other. The writing of the book was mainly done during 1905 and 1910. That I am less the reformer, less militant in this volume, I cheerfully admit. To maintain such a mood as that in which my first books were written after the conditions of its genesis had changed, would have been false and foolish. From the heat and dust and toil of the plain I went year after year to the glorious streams of the lofty valleys where only horsemen lived, men who took chances every day, and whose women, lonely though they were, had at least the compensation of the never-ending drama of cloud and peak. It was a recreation to ride these trails. I did not search for material - it came to me. I took delight in writing these stories and many readers have testified that they, too, enjoyed them. I glory in them and I am asking my readers to put them on the shelf along with the two volumes of M am Travelled Roads, as a complementary volume. I assure them that in all my tales of the mountains I worked in the same spirit of verity as that with which I earlier wrote. My material is more romantic in these later books, but my method remains substantially the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vacation on the Trail: Personal Experiences in the Higher Mountain Trails With Complete Directions for the Outfitting of Inexpensive Expeditions Frankly the following pages are written in the hope Of interesting the thousands Of men and women who go summering every year in search of that which will te lieve from the strain Of Office, study, or classroom and send them back refreshed for the labors of another year. The aim is to point out a more excellent way than has yet been discovered by the vast majority who perforce follow the crowd to the popular resort or at best join an excursion and do half a continent in thirty days. What the worn-out teacher, clerk, or executive needs is not rest but change; not inactivity which dulls the physical powers but action which stimulates; not mental excitement, Of which he has had too much, but simple surroundings under his personal control. He needs some thing that will set his idle body at work and stir up his sluggish processes, especially those Of elimination; and yet that something must be so filled with daily details as effectually to prevent the mind from slipping back into its Old ruts to go wool-gathering after the deep things Of life. In short, the man or woman seeking recuperation needs to reverse the daily grind and live a life Of active, though not exhaustive, physical existence with enough Of variety to keep the mind interested but not really em ployed. SO shall the tired vacationist go back to his work te-created and virtually a new man in body, mind, and spirit.
