Yonder up in the hills are men and women, white-haired, who love to tell of that time when the woods came to the door-step and God's cattle fed on the growing corn. Where, long ago, they sowed their youth and strength, they see their sons reaping, but now, bent with age, they have ceased to gather save in the far fields of memory. Every day they go down the long, well-trodden path and come back with hearts full. They are as children plucking the meadows of June.

Produktbeschreibung
Yonder up in the hills are men and women, white-haired, who love to tell of that time when the woods came to the door-step and God's cattle fed on the growing corn. Where, long ago, they sowed their youth and strength, they see their sons reaping, but now, bent with age, they have ceased to gather save in the far fields of memory. Every day they go down the long, well-trodden path and come back with hearts full. They are as children plucking the meadows of June. Sit with them awhile, and they will gather for you the unfading flowers of joy and love-good sir! the world is full of them. And should they mention Trove or a certain clock tinker that travelled from door to door in the olden time, send your horse to the stable and God-speed them!-it is a long tale, and you may listen far into the night. "See the big pines there in the dale yonder?" some one will ask. "Well, Theron Allen lived there, an' across the pond, that's where the moss trail came out and where you see the cow-path-that's near the track of the little red sleigh."
Autorenporträt
American journalist and author Addison Irving Bacheller was born on September 26, 1859, and passed away on February 24, 1950. He established the nation's first contemporary newspaper syndicate. Irving Bacheller, a Pierrepont, New York native, began his career with the Daily Hotel Reporter after earning his degree from St. Lawrence University in 1882. By 1883, he was employed by the Brooklyn Daily Times. After two years, he started a company to supply the big Sunday newspapers with specialist stories. He introduced British writers like Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Joseph Conrad to American readers via the Bacheller Syndicate. Additionally, he forged a collaboration with the youthful writer and journalist Stephen Crane, whose book The Red Badge of Courage rose to fame following its syndication. A few years later, Crane was hired by Bacheller to cover the war in Cuba during the uprising against Spain; however, during the voyage, Crane's ship sank off the coast of Florida, leaving him for two days on a dinghy. This event led in his short tale "The Open Boat".
