The Night-Riders (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Excerpt from The Night-Riders: A Romance of Early Montana Forks Settlement no longer occupies its place upon the ordnance map of the state of Montana. At least not the Forks Settlement - the one which nestled in a hollow on the plains, beneath the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. It is curious how these little places do contrive to slip off the map in the course of time. There is no doubt but that they do, and are wholly forgotten, except, perhaps, by those who actually lived or visited there. It is this way with all new countries, and anywhere from twenty to thirty years ago Montana was distinctly a new country. It was about '85 that Forks Settlement enjoyed the height of its prosperity - a prosperity based on the supply of dry-goods and machinery to a widely scattered and sparse population of small ranchers and farmers. These things brought it into existence and kept it afloat for some years. Then, it gradually faded from existence - just as such places do. When John Tresler rode into Forks he wondered what rural retreat he had chanced upon. He didn't wonder in those word, his languages was much more derogatory to place than that.
