In\u003cbr\u003eevery direction forest and canebrake stretched in countless miles, the\u003cbr\u003etrees, infinite in variety, and great in size, showing that Nature had\u003cbr\u003eworked here with the hand of a master. Little streams flashing in silver\u003cbr\u003eor gold in the sunlight, flowed down to the greater rivers, and on a\u003cbr\u003ebush a scarlet tanager fluttered like a flash of flame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA youth, uncommon in size and bearing, stepped into a little opening,\u003cbr\u003eand looked about with the easy, natural caution belonging to the native\u003cbr\u003eof the forest who knows that danger is always near. His eyes pierced the\u003cbr\u003efoliage, and would have noticed anything unusual there, his ear was so\u003cbr\u003ekeen that he would have heard at once any sound not a part of the woods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEye and ear and the indefinable powers of primitive man told him no\u003cbr\u003eenemy was at hand, and he stood on the green hill, breathing the fresh,\u003cbr\u003ecrisp air, with a delight that only such as he could feel. Mighty was\u003cbr\u003ethe wilderness, majestic in its sweep, and depth of color, and the lone\u003cbr\u003ehuman figure fitted into it perfectly, adding to it the last and\u003cbr\u003efinishing touch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe blended, too, with the forest. His dress, wholly of fine, tanned\u003cbr\u003edeerskin, was dyed green, the hunting shirt fringed, hunting shirt,\u003cbr\u003eleggings and moccasins alike adorned with rows of little beads. Fitting\u003cbr\u003ethus so completely into his environment, the ordinary eye would not have\u003cbr\u003eobserved him, and his footsteps were so light that the rabbits in the\u003cbr\u003ebush did not stir, and the flaming bird on the bough was not frightened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenry Ware let the stock of his rifle rest upon the ground and held it\u003cbr\u003eby the barrel, while he gazed over the green billows of the forest,\u003cbr\u003erolling away and away to every horizon. He was a fortunate human being\u003cbr\u003ewho had come into his own kingdom, one in which he was fitted supremely\u003cbr\u003eto reign, and he would not have exchanged his place for that of any\u003cbr\u003etitular sovereign on his throne.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163373486320,"sku":"2940013270046","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013270046_p0.jpg?v=1763579088","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013270046","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
