Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Very Good, the style of his pen is a little out of date however a very sincere and colorful description on the caricatures and places, very good reading, thank you.
Pony Tracks
29. April 2008
This is a great little book of western history, circa the nineteenth century. Anyone acquainted with the western cowboy era is familiar with Frederic Remington's art. Those recognizing him also as an artist in prose are a much smaller group.
In the early part of his life, Frederick Remington (1861-1909) was earning his keep as a journalist. He published "Pony Tracks in 1895. It is a collection of reports written from the American West for magazines. Readers will appreciate the skill of writing as much as the history. In addition, it is illustrated with the fine art work for which Remington is justly famous.
The stories range all across the American West and down into Mexico. He wrote several after traveling with various cavalry troops, including some lead by General Miles. There is also his account of a five-hundred mile stagecoach ride in Mexico in which Remington admits, "I'm a Jonah in a stagecoach, and that is not a superstition, but a fact amply proven by many trials." In addition to the trials and mishaps, he gives us an insightful description of the people, mules, and countryside. Another trip was with the soldiers policing Yellowstone Park prior to the creation of the National Park Service.
At another place a canoe trip provides an opportunity to combine the adrenaline-spawning excitement of white water with contemplation over a pipe beside the campfire. "You drink in the spell of the forest and dream of the birch barks and the red warriors who did the same thing a couple of centuries since."
Anyone with a complete copy of "Pony Tracks" on their bookshelves must certainly treasure it. The University of Oklahoma has recognized the value and made it available. Unfortunately, it is a scanned copy flawed with smudges and other signs of heavy wear. Some of the illustrations are reordered but I didn't find any missing. In the absence of a copy from earlier publication, the book currently available new is well worth the price. If you are interested in a very early account of the Wild West, look it up.
