Publisher's Synopsis
Melodies and Mountaineers is a book written by Isabel McLennan McMeekin and published in 1921. The book is a collection of stories and poems that celebrate the beauty and adventure of the mountains. It is divided into two parts: the first part contains stories and sketches of life in the mountains, while the second part is a collection of poems inspired by the mountain scenery. The stories in the book are set in various mountain ranges, from the Appalachians to the Rockies, and feature a diverse cast of characters, including mountaineers, hunters, and travelers. They explore themes such as the struggle for survival in harsh mountain environments, the beauty and majesty of nature, and the enduring spirit of the people who call the mountains home. The poems in the book are similarly inspired by the mountains and celebrate their rugged beauty, their power, and their ability to inspire awe and wonder in those who behold them. They range from lyrical descriptions of mountain vistas to more philosophical musings on the nature of the mountains and their place in the world. Overall, Melodies and Mountaineers is a celebration of the mountains and the people who inhabit them, and a testament to the enduring power of nature to inspire and uplift the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
