A vast journey it will be. It will cost us many thousand miles of travel. We shall find neither railway train, nor steamboat, nor stage coach, to carry us on our way. We shall not even have the help of a horse. For us no hotel shall spread its luxurious board; no road-side inn shall hang out its inviting sign and \"clean beds;\" no roof of any kind shall offer us its hospitable shelter. Our table shall be a rock, a log, or the earth itself; our lodging a tent; and our bed the skin of a wild beast. Such are the best accommodations we can expect upon our journey. Are you still ready to undertake it' Does the prospect not deter you'No I hear you exclaim. I shall be satisfied with the table what care I for mahogany' With the lodging I can tent like an Arab. With the bed fling feathers to the wind!Enough, brave boy! you shall go with me to the wild regions of the \"North west,\" to the far \"fur countries\" of America. But, first a word about the land through which we are going to travel. Take down your Atlas. Bend your eye upon the map of North America. Note two large islands one upon the right side, Newfoundland; another upon the left, Vancouver. Thomas Mayne Reid was an Irish British novelist who fought in the Mexican - American War (1846 - 1848). His many works on American life describe colonial policy in the American colonies, the horrors of slave labour, and the lives of American Indians. \"Captain\" Reid wrote adventure novels akin to those by Frederick Marryat (1792 - 1848), and Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894). They were set mainly in the American West, Mexico, South Africa, the Himalayas, and Jamaica. He was an admirer of Lord Byron. His novel Quadroon (1856), an anti-slavery work, was later adapted as a play entitled The Octoroon (1859) by Dion Boucicault and produced in New York.","brand":"Hurst \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40557264863302,"sku":"2333013","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2333013.jpg?v=1681493225","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-young-voyageurs-or-the-boy-hunters-in-the-north","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
