{"product_id":"2940013446809","title":"The Scalp Hunters","description":"CHAPTER ONE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE WILD WEST.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnroll the world's map, and look upon the great northern continent of\u003cbr\u003eAmerica.  Away to the wild west, away toward the setting sun, away\u003cbr\u003ebeyond many a far meridian, let your eyes wander.  Rest them where\u003cbr\u003egolden rivers rise among peaks that carry the eternal snow.  Rest them\u003cbr\u003ethere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou are looking upon a land whose features are un-furrowed by human\u003cbr\u003ehands, still bearing the marks of the Almighty mould, as upon the\u003cbr\u003emorning of creation; a region whose every object wears the impress of\u003cbr\u003eGod's image.  His ambient spirit lives in the silent grandeur of its\u003cbr\u003emountains, and speaks in the roar of its mighty rivers: a region\u003cbr\u003eredolent of romance, rich in the reality of adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollow me, with the eye of your mind, through scenes of wild beauty, of\u003cbr\u003esavage sublimity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI stand in an open plain.  I turn my face to the north, to the south, to\u003cbr\u003ethe east, and to the west; and on all sides behold the blue circle of\u003cbr\u003ethe heavens girdling around me.  Nor rock, nor tree, breaks the ring of\u003cbr\u003ethe horizon.  What covers the broad expanse between?  Wood? water?\u003cbr\u003egrass?  No; flowers.  As far as my eye can range, it rests only on\u003cbr\u003eflowers, on beautiful flowers!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am looking as on a tinted map, an enamelled picture brilliant with\u003cbr\u003eevery hue of the prism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYonder is golden yellow, where the helianthus turns her dial-like face\u003cbr\u003eto the sun.  Yonder, scarlet, where the malva erects its red banner.\u003cbr\u003eHere is a parterre of the purple monarda, there the euphorbia sheds its\u003cbr\u003esilver leaf.  Yonder the orange predominates in the showy flowers of the\u003cbr\u003easclepia; and beyond, the eye roams over the pink blossoms of the\u003cbr\u003ecleome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe breeze stirs them.  Millions of corollas are waving their gaudy\u003cbr\u003estandards.  The tall stalks of the helianthus bend and rise in long\u003cbr\u003eundulations, like billows on a golden sea.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079451492592,"sku":"2940013446809","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013446809_p0.jpg?v=1763581526","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013446809","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
