Excerpt from A Merry Crusade to the Golden GateThat it presents to the fraters who have traveled from all points Of the continent, and from across the seas, a souvenir which will pleasantly remind them of their pilgrimage to the land of sunshine in a year most favorable and opportune, and one intended to com memorate the assembling, upon the golden shores of the vast Pacific, some forty thousand Sir Knights in Triennial Conclave.That the reader, recognizing the difficulties Of adequate treat ment of so great a subject, may find in the interest it inspires an indulgent excuse Of any shortcomings.Truly, we have traveled over but amere portion of this broad land Of ours, but enough, quite enough, to give an idea of its won ders and vastness and to impress the noble and patriotic thought of Thoreau and Cook, SO essential to all of us: Nothing can be hoped for you if this bit Of mould under your feet is not Sweeter to you than any other in the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
