Thrilling Adventures, Travels and Explorations of Doctor Elijah White: Among the Rocky Mountains and in the Far West
Excerpt from Thrilling Adventures, Travels and Explorations of Doctor Elijah White: Among the Rocky Mountains and in the Far West
Well, lady novel reader, I fancy I see a smile again. I feared I had gained your displeasure; for, till the last sen tence or two, I imagined a look of dudgeon stole over you face. I will endeavor to cater for the taste of all, as far as consistency will allow me. To the first class of readers I will just say, that within these lids they will find nought contained but truth; to the second, that, although all true, some of the incidents are sufficiently thrilling to please, I trust, even after perusing the efi'usions of James, 000per, or Lippard, that prince of thrilling story tellers, and with this they must rest content. The narrative, such as it is, is ex tracted, and compiled from various notes and other informa tion obtained from Mrs. White, and Dr. White's Government Reports, and sundry documents kindly favored me, carrying them through a variety of scenes; interesting and extensive.
