About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1873.

On the north side of the river, and east from 10 to 20 miles, the flanks of the mountain-ranges are covered with the unchanged rocks, which give comparatively gentle grassy slopes, owing to the readiness with which they yield to the atmospheric agencies. Through these slopes many little streams cut their way, forming huge canons, which reveal along their sides the series of beds in their order of succession. From a point near the source, for 20 or 30 miles, the river flows through a synclinal valley, the conspicuous red beds dipping from either side. Along the valley of the river are marked deposits of drift, the result of glacial action; but the most beautiful feature is the well-defined terraces, about 50 feet high, and smoothed off like a lawn. The terraces are covered with considerable deposit of drift, but when they are cut through by streams the basis rocks are shown. The scenery on either side of the valley is beautiful beyond description.

The Snowy Mountains are mostly destitute of vegetation, and are covered with eternal snows, but the lower mountain-ridges are covered mostly with what may be called groves of pine. Indeed, the pine and grassy openings are so arranged and proportioned that the whole scene appears as if it might have been partially the work of art, and the traveler imagines himself in a sparsely-settled, mountainous district, instead of the unexplored Rocky Mountain region. The openings and grassy slopes will make excellen...

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
