What is now Jackson's Hole was a way of life to the Native Americans who summered here and wintered in the lower and warmer regions to the east of Togwotee Pass. A summer in this secluded valley meant plenty of fish and other wildlife for food, skins for clothing and teepees, as well as a cool, well-watered environment.Snowmelt-fed streams bordered by vegetation supported many beaver and other fur-bearers that attracted men of European descent in their never-ending quest for commercial wealth. Mountain men and trappers considered the natural resources of the area as there to be taken for their own personal gain, By 1840 beaver became scarce and fell from fashion. The land that supported bison was thought good for domestic cattle, so ranchers settled in Jackson Hole from one end to the other. Dry years and the Great Depression forced many of them to sell out.Now millions of visitors come each year to recapture the thrill of wandering in a land still much as the Native Americans left it. This is a new wealth that depreciates little under protection as a National Park.An increasing number of people look for ways to identify themselves with those who led the way into this new land. "Campfire Tales of Jackson Hole" give you this opportunity in an easy to read text that takes you back to the people and evens that transpired in the valley.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Blending philosophy, theology, and wit, Chesterton defends Christianity not as a dry system but as a thrilling adventure. Orthodoxy traces his personal journey from doubt to belief, using paradox, humor, and vivid imagery to explore truth, imagination, and human nature. Both deeply personal and intellectually provocative, the book remains a landmark of Christian thought and literary style. The only possible excuse for this book is that it is an answer to a challenge. Even a bad shot is dignified when he accepts a duel. When some time ago I published a series of hasty but sincere papers, under the name of "Heretics," several critics for whose intellect I have a warm respect (I may mention specially Mr. G.S. Street) said that it was all very well for me to tell everybody to affirm his cosmic theory, but that I had carefully avoided supporting my precepts with example. "I will begin to worry about my philosophy," said Mr. Street, "when Mr. Chesterton has given us his." It was perhaps an incautious suggestion to make to a person only too ready to write books upon the feeblest provocation. But after all, though Mr. Street has inspired and created this book, he need not read it. If he does read it, he will find that in its pages I have attempted in a vague and personal way, in a set of mental pictures rather than in a series of deductions, to state the philosophy in which I have come to believe. I will not call it my philosophy; for I did not make it. God and humanity made it; and it made me. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Lovecraft praised the story Great God Pan, saying: "No one could begin to describe the cumulative suspense and ultimate horror with which every paragraph abounds"; he added that "the sensitive reader" reaches the end with "an appreciative shudder." Arthur Machen had a substantial career as a novelist and storyteller, but nothing he did in the course of a lifetime made the impact he made in 1890 with _The Great God Pan._ The tale literally caused a furor in London -- for it seemed to many readers to bring horror and prurient sexuality together in a way that echoed their moment, foreshadowing the decadence of our own. Arthur Machen's novel made a huge impact in 1890 with this tale that literally caused a furor in London by readers who believed the horrific events he described were real.
