Kate Clarendon: Or Necromancy in the Wilderness (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Kate Clarendon: Or Necromancy in the Wilderness
Such is an outline, only, Of the scene which is presented to the beholder of modern days but very different was it sixty years ago, when, along the banks Of the river and over the plain and hills, instead of the quiet village and its hum of civilization, and the many pleasant farms um der cultivation, and the farm-houses sending up in graceful wreaths the smoke of their peaceful fires, there was a vast, unbroken forest, inhabited by the barbarous, untutored savage, and the thousand wild beasts Of the wilderness. As it is with the early settlement Of this portion Of the country we have to do, we must leave the scene as it now exists, and go back to the period when the hardy pioneer left his comfortable and well-protected home, to venture hither, and dare all the dangers and suffer all the priva tions Of frontier life.
