Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventy-Five Years on the Border In presenting this little work to the public, I lay no claim to literary merit from a scholarly point of view, as that would be a travesty on the good sense of the higher education of the present time. However, I was born in Central Missouri, and have lived on its western border for seventy-six years, and have seen the things I tell about in my native Missouri way of telling it, and believe it will be as interesting to the many as though it were told in nicely rounded periods of classical English. Be that as it may, I trust that some one of these many stories may strike a responsive chord in the breast of the young, the old, the matron, the maid, the grandfather, the baby boy, to the end that my name shall go down to posterity as having done my part in blazing the way for our grand Civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventy Years on the Frontier: Alexander Majors' Memoirs of a Lifetime on the Border, With a Preface by "Buffalo Bill" (General W. F. Cody) An introduction to a book of Mountain and Plain by Mr. Majors certainly need hardly be written, unless it be to refer to the author in a way that his extreme modesty will not permit him to speak of himself, for he is not given to sounding his own praise, being a man of action rather than words, and yet whose life has its recollections of seventy years upon the frontier, dating to a period that tried men's souls to the fullest extent, and when daring deeds and thrilling adventures were of every-day occurrence. Remem brance of seventy years of life in the Far West and amid the Rocky Mountains! What a world of thought this gives rise to, when we recall that a quarter of a century ago there was not a rail road west of the Missouri River, and every pound of freight, every emigrant, every letter, and every message had to be carried by wagon or on horseback, and at the risk of life and hardships untold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life on the Border: Sixty Years Ago The strip of Northern New York, that skirts the north and northwestern base of the Adirondacks and trends away northward to the Canada line or latitude 45 degrees, and thence in Canada to the St. Lawrence River, is one of the handsomest outspreads of land on the face of creation. From Plattsburg, the most northern town of any note on the west side of Lake Champlain to Ogdensburg by the old road over the Chateaugay hills Is not far from 120 miles. At the time of which I am writing, 1822 to 1835, nearly the whole of this broad strip was covered with a dense forest, yet to be cleared, but settlements had been made at many points, especially in the north part of St. Lawrence, the northern end of Clinton and the eastern corner of Franklin Counties. The latter was now becoming the centre of attraction for poor men because of the cheapness of the land and the facilities offered by the land agent for settlement. With the forest covering the entire face of the country it was impossible to discern the beauties now apparent, and the industrious axemen, intent on clearing the soil so they could get a livelihood from it, never realized that future generations would travel with delight over and through the very country under their feet admiring its peculiar attractions especially in summer. The descent from the Adirondacks is over gentle declivities terminating on terraces some two or three miles across till you reach the last decline upon the alluvials of the St. Lawrence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eagle Pass: Or, Life on the Border Ive know our derelict public servants have failed to do their duty in these matters, and they will continue derelict so long as the people are silent; but they will hasten to amend their ways when the searching blaze of popular inquiry is turned upon their acts. The corruption and imbecility of our officials will grow upon us, until the press is aroused to take up the work and apply the cautery. Before this vague and irresponsible administration of our executive trusts is reformed into something more respectable and trustworthy, we may have to impeach some cabinet officers.

Download or read book Border Songs written by Jim Lynch and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brandon Vanderkool’s severe dyslexia and six-foot-eight height give him an unusual perspective on his new job with the American Border Patrol, along the Washington/BC border — just a long, grassy ditch, really, barely dividing neighbours who used to be as congenial as those in any small community. Though his curious mind proves surprisingly adept at intercepting Canadian pot smugglers and potentially dangerous illegals, years of security hysteria and cross-border resentment — and a fascinating young Canadian who has turned her green thumb to a more lucrative crop — complicate Brandon’ s world in ways even he might not be able to see past. Border Songs is that rare delight: a gently satirical portrait, an extraordinary love story and a celebration of the coincidental and the miraculous.

Download or read book Hard Line written by Ken Ellingwood and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-03-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southwestern border is one of the most fascinating places in America, a region of rugged beauty and small communities that coexist across the international line. In the past decade, the area has also become deadly as illegal immigration has shifted into some of the harshest territory on the continent, reshaping life on both sides of the border. In Hard Line, Ken Ellingwood, a correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, captures the heart of this complex and fascinating land, through the dramatic stories of undocumented immigrants and the border agents who track them through the desert, Native Americans divided between two countries, human rights workers aiding the migrants and ranchers taking the law into their own hands. This is a vivid portrait of a place and its people, and a moving story of the West that has major implications for the nation as a whole.
