Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from His Inheritance It is November of 185-, and Blossom is going back across the plains to her home. Seventeen years before, a baby had been born, within a rude fort upon the Arkansas River, to the post-sutler Stubbs and his wife; and this baby was Blossom. It is but just to say, that, earlier in life, this man Stubbs, had borne another name, which had been lost, beyond finding again, somewhere in the Western wilderness; or, to be exact, his odd, stunted figure had won for him this sobriquet, before which his rightful cognomen burned dimly for a while, and finally went out altogether. He had resigned his name without much of an effort to retain it, thereby showing little of pride or spirit. But rights of any kind were held here only at the muzzle of a revolver, and had been gradually narrowed down, until they involved little more than life and liberty: to contend for any thing less was hardly worth the powder.
