Excerpt from Three Wonderlands of the American West: Being the Notes of a Traveler, Concerning the Yellowstone Park, the Yosemite National Park, and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, With a Chapter on Other Wonders of the Great American WestIt may be on account of this very scepticism that thousands never see the most inspiring marvels of our own country. We question the fidelity of artist and word-painter, and spend our vacations in Europe or in some conventional resort hotel, while the great world of beauty and soul-stirring wonders of the American West remain undiscovered and unexplored so far as we are concerned. Or perhaps some are rather appalled at the vast distances they must cover by rail, and the discomforts - which prove more fanciful than real, after all - that they dread to undergo. Whatever the reason, there are but few thousands yearly who visit the Yellowstone, the Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, out of the millions who might find recreation and enjoy ment in these virgin retreats of nature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
