Prairie Sketches: Or Fugitive Recollections of an Army Girl of 1899 (Classic Reprint)

New York out to this western territory of Wyoming, unrelieved by anything of interest, within the car or without; moreover, the June day was hot, with fine particles of alkali dust sifting in and permeating the air, so thickly, one felt stifled. My skin smarted, and my lips cracked and burned with the intense dryness. Our train was due at Rawlins in a half hour, where we were to remain over night. The next day we were to take an army ambulance, with the regulation four mules, and drive one hundred and fifty miles across the plains, to join my father at his station, Fort Washakie. An ambulance is a most comfortable vehicle in which to travel; it is built on much the same lines as a coach, with two broad seats holding two people each, facing each other. It is all enclosed with canvas curtains at the sides and back, which can be rolled up if desired. At the rear is what is called a boot, an arrangement of supports forming a shelf, on which luggage is placed and carefully buckled down with long straps. The driver sits on a high seat like a coachmans box, and he always has four mules in harnesssuch amazingly sensible creatures they are, very strong and untiring. The slight introduction we had had to alkali dust was nothing compared to what was before us. For safetys sake no water could touch either face or hands until the three days journey was over.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
