West

by Francis S. Borton

This collection of poetry, “The Call of California, and other poems of the West,” by Francis Borton explores the vast and rugged landscapes of the American West. The poems portray the harsh realities of nature's power, the challenges faced by humans attempting to conquer the wilderness, and the enduring spirit of the pioneer. Borton's verses capture the dramatic scenery, the struggles for survival, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of formidable natural forces. The collection offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where man's relationship with nature was a constant battle for dominance.
