Jack, the Young Ranchman

Excerpt from Jack, the Young Ranchman: Or a Boy's Adventures in the Rockies
Far away in the west, close to the backbone of the continent, lies the sagebrush country where the happenings described in the following pages took place.
The story is about real things and about real people, many of whom are alive to-day. The ranch lies in the Rocky Mountains, in a great basin, walled in by mountains on every hand, and 7,500 feet above the level of the sea.
The life there was exciting. There was good hunting - antelope and elk and bears and buffalo; and, far away - yet near enough to he very real - there were wild Indians.
