A description of the valley of Bogota, and the falls of Tecuendama, in the Republic of Colombia

The summit on which we enjoyed this prospect, was about 5 to 600 feet above
the valley. Even the mountains which surround this charming place exhibited a
scenery entirely new to us ; they were clothed with down, or close herbage of

mountain scenes. Within our view was a body of territory capable, under proper

The Hound of the Baskervilles and the Valley of Fear

.0000000000The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of Doyle's best-known Holmes novels, frequently adapted for film and television, which is not surprising given the highly dramatic scenes of mist-wrapped moors echoing to the horrific howls of a supernatural hound.

This volume also contains The Valley of Fear, a dark, powerful tale in which Holmes confronts the evil Professor Moriarty once more. With an Afterword by David Stuart Davies, a Fellow of the Royal Literary Fund, and an authority on Sherlock Holmes. He has written the Afterwords for all the Collector's Library Holmes volumes.

View of the valley of the Mississippi, or, The emigrant's and traveller's guide to the West

containing a general description of that entire country : and also notices of the soil, productions, rivers, and other channels of intercourse and trade : and likewise of the cities and towns, progress of education, &c. of each state and territory

Having in the last chapter given a brief and general History of the Valley of the
Mississippi, I proceed now to make some remarks upon the rapid increase of
population in that region, and to assign some reasons for believing that it must
continue to increase at a rapid rate, for along period, in future. The first French
settlements in the Valley of the Mississippi were made in the latter part of the
