Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Camel Hunt: Narrative of Personal Adventure

It is quite superfluous for me to inform the reader that this is a fast age - Young America has dinned that into his ears pretty effectually long Since - rushing along with its unearthly steam whistle, and its eternal warning of look out for the engine while the bell rings which takes it for granted that there are no illiterate or deaf people to be looked after - as somebody says.
