| Summary | "The Crest of the Continent: A Summer's Ramble in the Rocky Mountains and Beyond" by Ernest Ingersoll is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book captures the author's personal experiences and observations during an adventurous journey through the Rocky Mountains, offering a vivid portrayal of the scenery, wildlife, and human interactions in the region. Through its delightful prose, the work touches on themes of exploration, nature, and the quest for solace beyond the confines of civilization. At the start of this lively account, the author expresses a sense of awe and excitement as he first glimpses the majestic Rocky Mountains, describing their ethereal appearance against the skyline. The narrative introduces a group of friends and companions, including a musician, artist, and a photographer, who have charismatically banded together to embark on a memorable expedition in a specially chartered train. The opening sets the stage for an exploration of Denver and its surroundings, detailing aspects of the city that underline its rapid development and rich resources, while fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie and adventure as the group prepares to delve deeper into the mountainous beauty that lies ahead.
