With Axe and Rifle by William Henry Giles Kingston Captain Loraine's farm in the Far West-Hot-headed young men-Our family-Uncle Denis taken sick-We set out to visit him-The corduroy road-A wayside hotel-Rough company-Appearance of the country-Crossing the ford at Green River-Nearly lost-A brave Negro-Gratitude of my parents-At Mr Silas Bracher's plantation-Diogenes-Mammy Coe-The slave-owner-My father endeavours to purchase the Negro-Slavery-Unexpected recovery of Dr O'Dowd's patient-A sportsman's ambition-Trapping-A rich prize-Something about turkeys-The wonderful Cave of Kentucky-Our return to Illinois. Some time after the termination of the long war which England had waged in the cause of liberty when well-nigh all the world was up in arms against her, my father, Captain Patrick Loraine, having served for many years as a subaltern, believing that he should no longer find employment for his sword, sold out of the army, and with the proceeds of his commission in his pocket, quitting the old country, came to the United States in the hopes of making his fortune more rapidly than he could expect to do at home. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
