Features: The Great Plains Journey records the observations and experiences of Washington Irving during his travels in the region of Far West, USA, from October to November 1832, particularly his adventures hunting wild buffalo and mustang horses on the prairie. With simple and fluent language, Irving depicts the beautiful frontier landscapes, amusing anecdotes of his companions, and the diverse Native Americans he encountered. On this vast and boundless prairie, there were not only lovable people and beautiful events, but also constant dangers and thrilling adventures—perhaps this is the endless charm of the Great Plains. The sensitivity during the journey made every blade of grass and every tree extraordinary. His writing is elegant, natural, fresh, and exquisite, often revealing a gentle sense of humor.
