The Open Spaces ~ Paperback ~ John Charles Van Dyke

Excerpt from The Open Spaces: Incidents of Nights and Days Under the Blue Sky But, strange to say, the day-dreams of the boy became realities. Sooner than he could imagine they came to pass - came true. As a boy he was taken to the great Northwest; he followed in canoes the far waterways of the wild geese, he hunted the forests, rode the plains, and slept by the prairie pool. Again and again, through boy hood and manhood, he came and went in the mountains, the Bad Lands, the buffalo ranges, the deserts. The Wind's will was scarcely more free than the boy's will and the man's will. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
