Overview
Stewart Edward White was an early 20th century American author. From 1900 until 1922, he wrote fiction and non-fiction about adventure and travel. After 1922 he and his wife wrote many books on channeling and the spirit world. White s readers enjoy his salted in humor and stories about colorful characters such as canny Indian guides and "greenhorn" campers who carried too much gear. The Mountains was published in 1904. This story is in many respects real except for the character of the tenderfoot who is a composite of many people the author had known. An excerpt reads, Six trails lead to the main ridge. They are all good trails, so that even the casual tourist in the little Spanish-American town on the seacoast need have nothing to fear from the ascent. In some spots they contract to an arm's length of space, outside of which limit they drop sheer away; elsewhere they stand up on end, zigzag in lacets each more hair-raising than the last, or fill to demoralization with loose boulders and shale. A fall on the part of your horse would mean a more than serious accident; but Western horses do not fall. The major premise stands: even the casual tourist has no real reason for fear, however scared he may become.
