Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leaves From a Diary, 1884: A Tramp Around the World Leaving Chicago some three months previous for the far West, I had wandered aimlessly from camp to camp, through the mining district of Colorado, in search of a possible Eldorado, where I was to "strike it rich" and return home in glorious triumph, as, perhaps, I had presumptuously predicted. I forget the exact amount I did return with - but no matter. Near Rico, in the San Juan Valley, I became acquainted with a party of miners, who were out prospecting; they were a jovial, reckless set of fellows, and with that free hospitality never to be met with elsewhere, cordially invited me to join them. My valise I had left at Silverton, but in the mountains one need not be particular, and my blue woolen shirt was eminently fitted for camping, especially where water was so plentiful. For a week I stayed with my newly-made friends, and constituting myself cook to the outfit, proved to be of no small service, for of all things this duty is the most irksome to the true prospector.
