Among the Redskins or Over the Rocky Mountains
William H G Kingston
- Within thirty years Kingston wrote upwards of one hundred and thirty such books. He had a practical knowledge of seamanship, and his stories of the sea, full of thrilling adventures and hairbreadth escapes, exactly hit the taste of his boy readers. Characteristic specimens of his work are The Three Midshipmen; The Three Lieutenants; The Three Commanders; and The Three Admirals. He also wrote popular accounts of famous travelers by land and sea, and translated some of the stories of Jules Verne. This story begins: Hugh, my lad! Hugh, run and tell Madge we have come back, cried Uncle Donald, as he and I entered the house on our return, one summer’s evening, from a hunting excursion in search of deer or any other game we could come across, accompanied by three of our dogs, Whiskey, Pilot and Muskymote. As he spoke, he unstrapped from his shoulders a heavy load of cariboo meat. I, having a similar load, did the same-mine was lighter than his-and, Hugh not appearing, I went to the door and again called. No answer came.
