Excerpt from Over Prairie Trails
I made thirty-51x of'these trips: seventy-two drives in all. I think I could still rehearse every smallest incident of every _single one of themf With all their weirdness, with all their sometimes dangerous adventure - most of them were made at night, and with hardly ever any regard being paid to the weather or to the state of the roads-they stand out in the vast array of memorable trifles that con stitute the story of my life as among the most memorable ones. Seven drives seem, as it were, lifted above the mass of others as worthy to be described in some detail - _as not too trivial to detain for an hour or so a patient reader's kind attention. L Not that the others lack in interest for myself; but there is little in them of that mildly dramatic, stirring quality which might perhaps make their recital deserving of being heard beyond my own frugal fireside.
