Excerpt from Outing: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine of Sport, Travel and Recreation; June, 1891For the possible edification of the read ers of outing who may be planning a vacation journey to occupy some one or more of the months that should be de voted to recreative pleasure, and who never tire of those bird's-eye glimpses of nature that find their way to these health ful, breezy pages, let me once again essay the role of the descriptive writer in paying tribute to the charming region lying north ward and westward of the great lakes, traversed by the Northern Pacific Rail road, and stretching westward from Su perior's picturesque shores to the Western Ocean, aye, even unto Alaska's dazzling glaciers and emerald isles; a region te plete with interest to the student of American history and literature, to the lover of the beautiful and the grand in nature, the geologist, the naturalist, the mineralogist, the agriculturist and, above them all, to the sportsman.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
