The Wild Man of the West: A Tale of the Rocky Mountains is a novel written by Robert Michael Ballantyne. Ballantyne, a Scotsman, was a prolific writer of juvenile fiction during the nineteenth century. He authored more than one hundred books. The Wild Man of the West is the story of March Marson, an experienced teenaged backwoodsman, and his friend Bob Bounce. The two teenagers plan an adventure and escape to the West, where they explore the Rocky Mountains on foot, using their wits and survival skills as needed. The boys encounter terrific wildlife as well as the local indigenous peoples. They also come face to face with the title character, a "Wild Man" of local lore. What they learn about this "Wild Man" surprises them. Ballantyne was a writer of fiction aimed at teenagers, and this work is no different. It is a great adventure story that will appeal to young minds, and has two teenagers as its central characters. It is a coming of age story, with Ballantyne sprinkling in doses of wisdom alongside the action. The story moves quickly, and while character development isn't neglected, this is a book that is forwarded more by action than by dialogue. The Wild Man of the West: A Tale of the Rocky Mountains is typical of Ballantyne's work. It is a well-paced adventure that will primarily appeal to teenaged readers. Individuals looking for a classic tale of Western exploration would be wise to consider this novel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In which the Reader is introduced to a Mad Hero, a Reckless Lover, and a Runaway Husband—Backwoods Juvenile Training described—The Principles of Fighting fully discussed, and some valuable Hints thrown out. March Marston was mad! The exact state of madness to which March had attained at the age when we take up his personal history—namely, sixteen—is uncertain, for the people of the backwoods settlement in which he dwelt differed in their opinions on that point. The clergyman, who was a Wesleyan, said he was as wild as a young buffalo bull; but the manner in which he said so led his hearers to conclude that he did not think such a state of ungovernable madness to be a hopeless condition, by any means. The doctor said he was as mad as a hatter; but this was an indefinite remark, worthy of a doctor who had never obtained a diploma, and required explanation, inasmuch as it was impossible to know how mad he considered a hatter to be. Some of the trappers who came to the settlement for powder and lead, said he was as mad as a grisly bear with a whooping-cough—a remark which, if true, might tend to throw light on the diseases to which the grisly bear is liable, but which failed to indicate to any one, except perhaps trappers, the extent of young Marston’s madness. The carpenter and the blacksmith of the place—who were fast friends and had a pitched battle only once a month, or twice at most—agreed in saying that he was as mad as a wild-cat. In short, every one asserted stoutly that the boy was mad, with the exception of the women of the settlement, who thought him a fine, bold, handsome fellow; and his own mOther, who thought him a paragon of perfection, and who held the opinion (privately) that, in the wide range of the habitable globe there was not another like him—and she was not far wrong! Now, the whole and sole reason why March Marston was thus deemed a madman, was that he displayed an insane tendency, at all times and in all manners, to break his own neck, or to make away with himself in some similarly violent and uncomfortable manner Productinformatie:Taal: Engels;Formaat: ePub met kopieerbeveiliging (DRM) van Adobe;Kopieerrechten: Het kopiëren van (delen van) de pagina's is niet toegestaan ;Geschikt voor: Alle e-readers te koop bij bol.com (of compatible met Adobe DRM).
