Product Description
A BIRD-LOVER IN THE WEST. I. CAMPING IN COLORADO. THIS chronicle -of happy summer days with the birds and the flowers, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, begins in the month of May, in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-two. As my train rolled quietly out of Jersey City late at night, I uttered a sigh of gratitude that I was really off; that at last I could rest. Up to the final moment I had been hurried and worried, but the instant I was alone, with my " section" to myself, I "took myself in hand," as is my custom. At the risk of seeming to stray very far from my subject, I want at this point to say some-thing about rest, the greatly desired state that all busy workers are seeking, with such varying success. A. really re-creative recreation I sought for years, and " I've found some wisdom in my quest That '8 richly worth retailing,"
