The last sketch in the book is "A Glimpse of the Valley." Not one in our company but what felt the heart swell with joy as the sight of fields and orchards, in the latter of which hung ripened fruit, burst upon our sight. Danger and fatigues were all forgotten. The stubborn, interminable miles were conquered, "The Journey" was at an end. Transcriber's Note A Table of Contents has been added by the transcriber for the convenience of the reader. Variations in spelling are preserved as printed, e.g. unforseen, traveler, traveller, enmass, canon. Hyphenation has been made consistent. Minor punctuation errors have been repaired. The following amendments have been made: Page 50--sushine amended to sunshine--... having taken "the winds and sunshine into our veins," ... Page 73 included the phrase 'Of whether our higgest jubilation.' This is likely a printer error for either biggest or highest. On the assumption that a b/h typesetting error would be more likely, higgest has been amended to biggest. Illustrations have been moved where necessary so that they are not in the middle of a paragraph. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Pioneer Trail, by Alfred Lambourne
