Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leaves From an Argonaut´s Note Book: A Collection of Holiday and Other Stories, Illustrative of the Side of Mining Life in Pioneer Days In presenting this volume as a candidate for public favor, the Author will be brief in his prefatory remarks. Coming to this State with the tide of immigration which flocked in from every quarter in 1850, I made my home in the mines until after the century was ended, in fact my home was in one mining county for forty-nine years. Naturally, in such a long period of residence, I saw mining life in all its various phases. I began writing for the Golden Era and other publications, stories of mining life at an early day, none of which, however, are published in this volume. One day the editor of the Trinity Journal (my home paper) asked me to write a story for him, and after some badinage I promised to do so. I was then mining with very poor success, and, it being a "dry" winter, I had lots of leisure time on my hands, so I wrote the story of the "Milk Pan." It was received with such general favor that thereafter, whenever a holiday of any sort was coming I would be importuned for another fitting story, and generally I complied.
