Excerpt ...cross the big mountains all alone, and he wisely made up his mind to stay contentedly with Pedro until he got the chance of travelling with some nice companion. He would have been quite happy with the Mexican and his good dog, except for the great longing to see his parents, which sometimes almost impelled him to resume his journey at all risks. CHAPTER IX. JACK ARRIVES AT SWIFT CREEK RANCH. Jack had been two months with Pedro Gomez, and the weather was getting much colder. November had come, and although the sun still shone brightly and warm in the middle of the day, the nights were terribly cold, and Jack was glad enough to have the extra sheepskins to tuck round him which Pedro brought out for his use. There had been one fall of snow, which quickly cleared off the prairie again, leaving the mountains clothed with white above the timber-line. It was a pretty sight to see the contrast of the bright-coloured foliage against the snow, for in the autumn, all along the mountain creeks, the leaves of the oak-scrub turn a brilliant red, and those of the quaking aspen a bright yellow, making a wonderful mass of colour. One afternoon Pedro called Jack out to look at the mountains. The sun was just setting, and its rays were spreading along the edge of the peaks, making it look as if the whole outline of the range had been marked out with a broad, blood-red ribbon. 'Look at that, Jack!' exclaimed the Mexican. 'Ain't that a grand sight? D'ye know what the old pioneers called them mountains?' 'I've heard, but I've forgot somehow. It's a grand long name as I can't remember,' returned Jack. 'Well, I guess ye'll bear it in mind after to-day, for they called it Sangre de Christo, which in English means "Blood of Christ"; and folks say they gave the Range that name because the first explorers saw the mountains with that blood-red streak running along the top.' 'I shan't forget it now, I'm sure,' said Jack, gazing admiringly at the gorgeous scene before them....

I love this book. It was written at the turn of the last century or before. I think it a true story. It should be on every school reading list for 5th or 6th grade students. I came upon it by chance and have lent it to my grandchildren. A real lovely read.Product details

Left on the Prairie M B Cox 9781236733139 Books Reviews
Very easy read. Im a mom & I find this would be suitable for young readers of perhaps 11 yrs old. Sense of adventure, though somewhat anticlimactic. Seemed Brit perspective of Americn Old West.
The dialect is difficult to move through. Cumbersome. Granddaughter liked it. Definitely not a "page turner". Waste of my time; only read 2 chapters......don't remember.
