4.9/5 (20308 ratings)

Description:From inside the book: MARK TWAIN and other humorists have described to us the great half-civilized frontier of the West, but no one has ever before attempted to do so from the same standpoint our author does. To our mind this book throws much new light on life in the wild West as few other books do, for it tells the whole story honestly and in a most natural way, without giving it any religious coloring. It is full of fun and humor, because the parson saw much to laugh at. Like other frontier parsons, he no doubt saw much also to weep over, but this does not come within the province of the present volume. The author's record on the Western missionary field is well and honorably known to the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions. To young ministers contemplating work on our great Western borders, to the tens of thousands who are contributors to the extension of religion and civilization all over this land from sea to sea, to those who have near relatives roughing it on the frontier, as well as to those who have, or are likely to have, financial interests in our new States and Territories, this artless story will be read with more than passing interest. There are too many among us here in the East who find life dull and aimless, and because of this a sort of mental and moral miasma has taken hold of their vitals, who if they would but read what Parson Riley has to tell them, they would be stirred by the life-giving breezes which blow from the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, the wide plains of Texas, and the South Atlantic Ocean. It will give information and amusement to all, and that too in language which is charming in its simplicity.
