Description
Excerpt from The Thorn in the Nest Our story opens in spring of 1797, in a sequestered valley in Western Pennsylvania. On a green hillside dotted here and there with stately oaks and elms, and 510ping toward the road, beyond which flowed the clear waters of a mountain stream, stood a brick farm-house large, roomy, substantial beautiful with climbing vines and flowering shrubs. Orchard, meadow, wheat and 'corn fields stretched away on either hand, shut in by dense forests and wooded hills; beyond and above which, toward the right, towered the giant Alleghenies; their summits, still white from the storms of the past winter, lying like a bank of snowy clouds against the eastern horizon. But night drew on apace, the light was fast fading even from the mountain tops, and down in the valley it was already so dark that only the outlines of objects close at hand were discernible as our hero, Kenneth Clendenin, mounted upon Romeo, his gallant steed, entered it from the west and slowly wended his way toward its one solitary dwelling. The road was familiar to both man and horse, and ere long they had reached the gate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
