It was a huge hole in the earth over five-hundred feet deep, said to have been made by a meteor burying itself there. Seen from the outside the slope was gradual up to the edges, which were scalloped and irregular; on the inside the walls were precipitous. Our camp was on the windy desert, a long sweeping range of grass, sloping down, dotted with cattle, with buttes and mountains in the distance. Most of my sensations of the day partook of the nature of woe." >From Zane Grey's "Tales of Lonely Trails" (1922) [not included on the reading list:-)] Received on Tue 17 May 2005 02:41:58 AM PDT |
