Excerpt from The Land of FortuneThis is the country and the climate you have asked me to tell you about, and in good faith point out why it might be a good opening for your boys, and so, all through this beautiful trip, as the miles have slid behind us, and the prairie stretched beyond the limit of sight I have kept you in mind, your environment and equipment. Yours has been a thoughtful life; and only your quick intuition and courage has kept it from being a struggle. But you have won out, and you are now face to face with the future of your boys. You must send your four, big, comforting sons out in the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
