Book Description

Excerpt from Romance of Modern Travel: A Year-Book of Adventure One bright morning, when most of the men were off on a mustang drive (the pursuit of wild horses, ) a number of boys - children of my nearest neighbours - had collected to bathe in a pretty little basin, formed by an eddy of the river opposite my house.
