CEDAR MOUNTAIN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first youth rode to the crest of the hill, and, still sitting on his\u003cbr\u003ehorse, examined the country in the south with minute care through a pair\u003cbr\u003eof powerful glasses. The other two dismounted and waited patiently. All\u003cbr\u003ethree were thin and their faces were darkened by sun and wind. But they\u003cbr\u003ewere strong alike of body and soul. Beneath the faded blue uniforms\u003cbr\u003ebrave hearts beat and powerful muscles responded at once to every\u003cbr\u003ecommand of the will.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"What do you see, Dick?\" asked Warner, who leaned easily against his\u003cbr\u003ehorse, with one arm over the pommel of his saddle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hills, valleys, mountains, the August heat shimmering over all, but no\u003cbr\u003ehuman being.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A fine country,\" said young Pennington, \"and I like to look at it, but\u003cbr\u003ejust now my Nebraska prairie would be better for us. We could at least\u003cbr\u003esee the advance of Stonewall Jackson before he was right on top of us.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDick took another long look, searching every point in the half circle\u003cbr\u003eof the south with his glasses. Although burned by summer the country\u003cbr\u003ewas beautiful, and neither heat nor cold could take away its\u003cbr\u003epicturesqueness. He saw valleys in which the grass grew thick and\u003cbr\u003estrong, clusters of hills dotted with trees, and then the blue loom of\u003cbr\u003emountains clothed heavily with foliage. Over everything bent a dazzling\u003cbr\u003esky of blue and gold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe light was so intense that with his glasses he could pick out\u003cbr\u003eindividual trees and rocks on the far slopes. He saw an occasional roof,\u003cbr\u003ebut nowhere did he see man. He knew the reason, but he had become so\u003cbr\u003eused to his trade that at the moment, he felt no sadness. All this\u003cbr\u003eregion had been swept by great armies. Here the tide of battle in\u003cbr\u003ethe mightiest of all wars had rolled back and forth, and here it was\u003cbr\u003edestined to surge again in a volume increasing always.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I don't find anything,\" repeated Dick, \"but three pairs of eyes are\u003cbr\u003ebetter than none. George, you take the glasses and see what you can see\u003cbr\u003eand Frank will follow.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073643626736,"sku":"2940013275140","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013275140_p0.jpg?v=1763579107","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013275140","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
