About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Scalp Hunters by Thomas Mayne Reid. Read in English by Dale Latham; deongines; Bill Boerst; Kenneth Sergeant Gaghan; Kit Noussis; Daniel Nunan; TriciaG; Larry Wilson "Unroll the world’s map, and look upon the great northern continent of America. Away to the wild west, away toward the setting sun, away beyond many a far meridian, let your eyes wander. Rest them where golden rivers rise among peaks that carry the eternal snow. Rest them there. You are looking upon a land whose features are un-furrowed by human hands, still bearing the marks of the Almighty mould, as upon the morning of creation; a region whose every object wears the impress of God’s image. His ambient spirit lives in the silent grandeur of its mountains, and speaks in the roar of its mighty rivers: a region redolent of romance, rich in the reality of adventure. Follow me, with the eye of your mind, through scenes of wild beauty, of savage sublimity." So begins this early book by Mayne Reid, a book of romance, of adventure, and of the wide open spaces of the Wild West. (Adapted from the first chapter)
