Long Sweetening: A Romance of the Red Woods

Excerpt from Long Sweetening: A Romance of the Red WoodsThere, where a primeval forest of giant redwoods stood rooted in the moss and mold of centuries, the day-long twilight was deepening into dusk, and the solemn stillness was broken only by the play of a hidden brook, murmuring and gurgling under cano pies of yew, laurel and fern. Faithfully following its meanderings was an old wood road, so choked with laurel, and hazel, and huckleberry brush that only a slender trail remained to mark its course.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
