THE
Crest of the Continent:

A RECORD OF
A SUMMER’S RAMBLE IN THE ROCKY
MOUNTAINS AND BEYOND.

By ERNEST INGERSOLL.

“We climbed the rock-built breasts of earth!

We saw the snowy mountains rolled

Like mighty billows; saw the birth

Of sudden dawn; beheld the gold

Of awful sunsets; saw the face

Of God, and named it boundless space.”
