Afloat In The Forest: A Voyage Among The Tree-Tops This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
Autorenporträt
Thomas Mayne Reid was an Irish-American author who lived from April 4, 1818, to October 22, 1883. He fought in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Through his many writings about American life, he has shown how the American states were run, how horrible it was to work as a slave, and how American Indians lived. Adventure books like those by Frederick Marryat and Robert Louis Stevenson were written by "Captain" Reid. Most of the stories took place in the American West, Mexico, South Africa, the Himalayas, and Jamaica. He thought a lot of Lord Byron. His anti-slavery book Quadroon (1856) was turned into a play by Dion Boucicault called The Octoroon (1859), which was put on in New York. Robert Reid was born in the village of Ballyroney, which is near Katesbridge in County Down in Northern Ireland. He is the son of Rev. Thomas Mayne Reid Sr., who is a senior clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, and his wife. Reid set out to become a Presbyterian priest because his father wanted him to. In September 1834, he started at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. He stayed for four years, but he wasn't motivated to finish school and get his diploma. He taught at a school in Ballyroney after going back to Dublin.
