The Boy Hunters: Large Print

By: Reid, Mayne

Go with me to the great river Mississippi. It is the longest river in the world.A line that would measure it would just reach to the centre of the earth, -inother words, it is four thousand miles in length. Go with me to this majesticriver.I do not wish you to travel to its source; only as far up as Point Coup e, about three hundred miles from its mouth. There we shall stop for a while-avery short while-for we have a long journey to make. Our route lies to thefar west-over the great prairies of Texas; and from Point Coup e we shalltake our departure.There is a village at Point Coup e-a quaint, old, French-looking village builtof wood. In point of fact it is a French village; for it was one of the earliestsettlements of that people, who, with the Spaniards, were the first colonistsof Western America. Hence we find, to this day, French and Spanish people, with French and Spanish names and customs, all through the Mississippivalley and the regions that lie west of it.
