The Mountain Girl Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Mountain Girl Under the heavy vehicle to which the ill-assorted ani mals were attached, a child lay unconscious, and David sprang forward, his weakness forgotten in the demand for action. In an instant he had drawn the little chap from his perilous position and, seizing the mule, succeeded in backing him to his place. The cause of its fright having by this time disappeared, the colt became tractable and stood quivering and snorting, as David took the bridle from the girl's hand.

Excerpt from The Unfortunate Mountain Girl: A Collection of Miscellanies, in Prose and Verse One beautiful evening in September, Lizza and her father were seated under their favorite tree, singing their wild song, which they usually sang at the close of the day, when the sun was shed ding its last rays over the earth. They had scarcely finished their song, when a stranger stepped from beneath a thicket, where he had been listening to the bird - like voice of Lizza. He approached the Spot where sat the old man and his beautiful daughter, resting her head upon his shoulder, and very politely accosted them. The old man was much disturbed at his approach, and by no means gave him a hearty welcome. The stranger looked at the fair girl with astonishment. He had often seen the old man in the market but had never dreamed of his having so beautiful a daughter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Mountain GirlBy Emma Payne Erskine"The snow had ceased falling. No wind stirred among the trees that covered the hillsides, and every shrub, every leaf and twig, still bore its feathery, white load. Slowly the train labored upward, with two engines to take it the steepest part of the climb from the valley below. David Thryng gazed out into the quiet, white wilderness and was glad. He hoped Carew's Crossing was not beyond all this, where the ragged edge of civilization, out of which the toiling train had so lately lifted them, would begin again.He glanced from time to time at the young woman near the door who sat as the bishop had left her, one slight hand grasping the handle of her basket, and with an expression on her face as placid and fraught with mystery as the scene without. The train began to crawl more heavily, and, looking down, Thryng saw that they were crossing a trestle over a deep gorge before skirting the mountain on the other side. Suddenly it occurred to him that he might be carried beyond his station. He stopped the smiling young brakeman who was passing with his flag."

Excerpt from Wild Nell: The White Mountain Girl Early judicious training, like that which nell received when taken from her wild home, though seldom rewarded in a like brilliant manner, will yet, nevertheless, develop graces Of mind and heart, which might otherwise have lain hidden from sight forever. Of what transcendent importance then does it become to train up a child in the way he should go to cultivate all those nicer, finer sensibilities of his nature, which not even the fall from that Godlike image in which he was made has eradicated. To the mothers of our land is intrusted a work which angels well might covet; a work higher and loftier than the most inspired genius could ever reach; a work commenced here to be perfected and crowned hereafter.

Excerpt from The Girl of Ghost Mountain Sheridan checked his sorrel as Jackson first held up his hand in sign of caution and then changed the gesture, pointing at something beyond the brow of the hill. The cowboy slid lithely from his saddle and the owner of the Circle S followed suit, anchor ing the sorrel mare with reins he let trail from bit to ground, joining his foreman, who had drawn back his pinto mount from the top of the rise. What is it, Red? Asked Sheridan, instinctively lowering his voice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
