About This Item
Chicago: Union Book Company Book. VG. Soft cover. 1901, pp147-157, removed from WITH THE WORLD'S GREAT TRAVELLERS, Edited by Charles Morris and Oliver H.G. Leigh. May include a first or last copied page. VG. From the introduction:"Washington Irving's experiences were not confined to the banks of the Hudson, the ruins of the Alhambra and the rural scenes of English life, but were extended to embrace the far western region of his own country, a region at that time still the domain of savage nature. In 1832, the year embraced in his TOUR ON THE PRAIRIES, the buffalo, or bison, now recovering from near extinction, roamed in vast herds over the treeless plains, and wild horses were little less abundant in the same broad region. The work in question is principally devoted to incidents of a hunter's life in pursuit of these two animals. The scene lies in the vicinity of the upper waters of the Red River." .
