TAILIEUCHUNG - THE MAN OF THE FOREST

I At sunset hour the forest was still, lonely, sweet with tang of fir and spruce, blazing in gold and red and green; and the man who glided on under the great trees seemed to blend with the colors and, disappearing, to have become a part of the wild woodland. Old Baldy, highest of the White Mountains, stood up round and bare, rimmed bright gold in the last glow of the setting sun. Then, as the fire dropped behind the domed .peak, a change, a cold and darkening blight, passed down the black spear-pointed slopes over all that mountain world | THE MAN OF THE FOREST by Zane Grey Harper and Brothers New York 1920 Published 1919 CHAPTER I At sunset hour the forest was still lonely sweet with tang of fir and spruce blazing in gold and red and green and the man who glided on under the great trees seemed to blend with the colors and disappearing to have become a part of the wild woodland.

Beneath him lay a narrow valley open and grassy from which rose a faint murmur of running water. Its music was pierced by the wild staccato yelp of a hunting coyote. From overhead in the giant fir came a twittering and rustling of grouse settling for the night and from across the valley drifted the last low calls of wild turkeys going to roost. To Dale s keen ear these sounds were all they should have been betokening an unchanged serenity of forestland. He was glad for he had expected to hear the clipclop of white men s horses which to hear up in those fastnesses was hateful to him. He and the Indian were friends.
