Description
Excerpt from The Round-Up: Or Geronimo's Last Raid The clear atmosphere quivered and pul sated with heat. The stumpy cactus, the dwarf juniper, the sage and Chaparral wore the same dull tint as the sandy waste. Far to the westward, through the shimmering haze, loomed a towering peak, at whose base nestled a lake Of clear, cold water, as blue as the cloudless sky overhead. It was a tempt ing vision to the thirsty travelers, but none of the three gave it heed. Well they knew that if they headed their ponies toward it, the refreshing picture would dance away from them like the ignis fatm's that woos the night wanderer from his path. The mirage is one Of the most alluring frauds of the Southwest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
