The Crest of the Continent / 1885
The Crest of the Continent / 1885
by Ernest Ingersoll
A record of a summer's ramble in the Rocky Mountains and beyond.
"We climbed the rock-built breasts of the earth!
We saw the snowy mountains rolled
Like might billows; saw the birth
Of sudden dawn; beheld the gold
Of awfaul sunsets; saw the face
Of God, and named it boundless space."
