[The Boy Hunters by Captain Mayne Reid]@TWC D-Link bookThe Boy Hunters CHAPTER ONE 1/7
CHAPTER ONE. THE HOME OF THE HUNTER-NATURALIST. 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,--in other words, it is four thousand miles in length.
Go with me to this majestic river. I do not wish you to travel to its source; only as far up as Point Coupee, about three hundred miles from its mouth.
There we shall stop for a while--a very short while--for we have a long journey to make. Our route lies to the far west--over the great prairies of Texas; and from Point Coupee we shall take our departure. There is a village at Point Coupee--a quaint, old, French-looking village built of wood.
