Excerpt from Boys of the Old Sea Bed: Tales of Nature and AdventureThese tales are at last put upon paper, after having served the demands of a generation of little folk now - grown tall - for stories of "when papa was a boy." All the tales are founded upon facts, and many are incidents and experiences reproduced as faithfully as memory paints the pictures.The red men are gone, the great forest is no more, railroads and cities and farms occupy the bottom of the "Old Sea Bed." But the same courage and hardihood and clean living which marked the pioneers of near a half century ago is still the hope of America.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
