Excerpt from Unto the Children: A Story of the RedwoodsAnd so the Vermonters went on, until they came to the head of the gorge, where the first redwoods, 200 feet high, stood portal. Jim Bascom alighted and took off his hat. Here were the trees! He had heard and he had believed, but for all that, he had doubted that any growth could attain such a proportion, here was an immense basin with mountains bordering the sides, green as far as he could see, mountains, ridges, valleys, all redwoods, a pliocene grandeur that was limited only by the distance. Jim knew woods, but compared with this, the forest that he had known was only brush. Here were silence and grandeur, where God had wrought a masterpiece out of solitude, and where man was nothing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
