The Busted Ex-Texan, and Other Stories
Murray, W. H. H. (William Henry Harrison)
Fiction; Short stories; Western stories
But often at night, when alone in my cabin,
I hear the low murmur of far northern rapids.
And often I see the great house and its splendor,
And wonder if death has helped the proud woman
To lay off her grief and escape from her sorrow.
And blazed a line through the dark Valley of Shadow,
And brought her in peace to the edge of the clearing,
Where I know she would see Jack Whitcomb stand, waiting.
So I say it again, and I say it with knowledge,
That the woods have their sorrows as well as the cities.
And he knows but little of this great northern forest
Who thinks there's naught in it save trees, lakes, and mountains.

_The New York Herald_; says,
Impossible to find a handsomer book on outdoor life than this. The
author's peculiar faculty for describing days in the woods and rambles
with good company has long been known. "Daylight Land" is longer than
the book in which the same author made the Adirondacks seem some other
place to men whose eyes were not as wide-open as his own, and the style
is even breezier, if that is possible. Seldom does a book appear which
is so entirely creditable to author, artist, and publisher.
