Excerpt from Tekoa, 1931I am Mount Tekoa. For ages uncountable I have been the silent guardian of Westfield and its river valley. From the Bible was I christened. From my rugged summit the eyes of Indian Chieftains scanned the surrounding lowlands. I have stood unchangeable while wild animal creatures and untamed human life roamed up and down my valley. Sternly I watched the invasion of the white man, and my heart could find no love for him. But he conquered impassable obstacles - dense forests gave way to his homelike houses, the red men became his friends, gleaming rails carried him fast across the miles, the power of the river whirled his mill wheels, delicate wires ¿ashed his invisible message to waiting friends, schools educated his children that they might work more wonders in the ages to come. All this did I see the White man accomplish in the river valley. Slowly I grew to love the red man's white brother because of his mighty brain and creative power. Still I stand, the silent guardian of the valley and the town. Suns rise and set again, ¿owers blossom and fade away, tides wash in and go out to sea, human life hums and is still, but 1 - 1 am steadfast, and in my heart dwells love for the well-being of my valley. I am Mount Tekoa - the silent watcher.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
