Excerpt from Alice of Old VincennesIt is not known just when Vincennes was first founded; but most historians make the probable date very early in the eighteenth century, somewhere be tween 1710 and 1730. In 1810 the Roussillon cherry tree was thought by a distinguished botanical letter writer to be at least fifty years old, which would make the date of its planting about 1760. Certainly as shown by the time-stained family records upon which this story of ours is based, it was a flourishing and wide-topped tree in early summer of 1778, its branches loaded to drooping with luscious fruit. 50 low did the dark red clusters hang at one point that a tall young girl standing on the ground easily reached the best ones and made her lips purple with their juice while she ate them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from How to Train in Archery: Being a Complete Study of the York Round, Comprising an Exhaustive Manual of Long-Range Bow Shooting for the Use of Those Archers Who Wish to Become Contestants at the Grand National Association MeetingsThe difference between the proper method of shooting at short, that is, point blanc range, and that of shooting at the great distances used in the York Round, is radical. One may be a crack shot at forty yards and under, and yet find himself unable to hit the target once out of twenty shots at one hundred or even eighty yards. To the close observer the reason of this is plain.First, in practicing at the short range the archer naturally draws higher, with his right hand near his ear, whilst at the long range he lowers that hand to the level of his chin, or rather below, and elevates his left so as to give the arrow the proper pitch for the high flight necessary to make it reach the target.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
