“The mountains from that fearful first
Named day were God's own house.”

Epigraph, Ch. 3 : Man-Hunters.
Shadows of Shasta (1881)
Context: The mountains from that fearful first
Named day were God's own house. Behold,
'Twas here dread Sinai's thunders burst
And showed His face. 'Twas here of old
His prophets dwelt. Lo, it was here
The Christ did come when death drew near.
