Excerpt from Poems of the Western LandThat our own beautiful state might produce, at the touch of the magician's wand, romances and heroic tales, weird and uncanny as any told by Scandinavian scald, or Highland minstrel, who can doubt?The wild tribes we have swept out before us, whose snow-shoes have long since disappeared beyond the mountains, have left us to gather their chronicles and legends as best we may, from the archives of the forest, or the sarcophagus by the torrent.And though their folios have been entrusted to the limestone boulders, and their manuscripts to the autumn leaves that the December hurricanes have swept into the great lakes, still we stumble upon frag ments now and then that marshal before us Chief and Sachem in their bravery, with all the love and hate of those elder days.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
