Thomas Mayne REID (1818 – 1883)
/"Unroll the map of the world and look at the great northern continent of America. Far to the wild west, far to the setting sun, beyond many distant meridians, let your eyes wander. Rest them where golden rivers rise among the peaks that bear eternal snow. Rest them there.
You look at a land whose features are not furrowed by human hand, still bearing the marks of the Almighty mold, as in the morning of creation; a region where every object bears the imprint of the image of God. Its ambient spirit lives in the silent grandeur of its mountains and speaks in the roar of its mighty rivers: a region evoking romance, rich in the reality of adventure.
Follow me, with your mind's eye, through scenes of wild beauty, of wild sublimity./"
So begins Mayne Reid's first book, a book of romance, adventure and the great outdoors of the Wild West. (Adapted from the first chapter)
