DESCRIPTION:
(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.. Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos
Highly Influentual Traveling Memoir about the early American West This short travelogue is amazing -- not just for what was seen and written down, but because this is one of the early American publications that fashioned our ideas about the American West. The writing is easy to read and doesn't use too many archaic words. Read it, revisit the source for early West experiences, and see how its ideas have continued to influence literature, Hollywood, and our own deeply embedded understanding.. Mangled e-version My review is of the Kindle version of this book, and the low rating applies solely to that. While the book itself provides a fascinating look at what life was like in the 1830s in the undeveloped area that is now Oklahoma -- where I live -- this conversion to an e-book is completely unacceptable. The reader has to take everything in context and consider the basic shapes of words rather than individual letters in words to make sense of each sentence. My best guess is that someone scanned the pages of the actual book into a program that read them as digital images and then tried to convert them back into words. It failed horribly.But b. Early Oklahoma Travel By Renowned Author Washington Irving Frank Gadberry Washington Irving touring the area where I live before statehood. This is a journal but the flow of language is unmistakably that of an accomplished author. The pictures painted of Native Americans and settlers in the area, as well as the description of the country where the buffalo roamed is especially well done and the misstreatment of Osage, Creek, and other tribes in the area did not go unnoticed by the author. Good reading!
