Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fugitives
Away Off in the heart of the Rocky Mountains a tiny baby River lived.
Its cradle was a lake fringed round with crys tals, and during all its infancy the snow-caps guided its uncertain footsteps. They were not very friendly, those old snow-caps, with their great seamed faces and their brows that Often frowned at the laughter of the River. But a baby knows too much to be afraid! It laughed at the sun and played with the sunbeams; it laughed at the wind to which the fir trees bowed in homage; and at night it sometimes awoke and laughed at the stars in its lap.
As it grew Older it grew just a little more serious, and there would creep into its heart the most wonderful pictures.
