Excerpt from Mountains and Molehills, or Recollections of a Burnt Journal
Nothing that I can say here will blind the reader to the deficiency of these pages; they are in truth, as their title expresses, the recollections of a Journal burnt, and I present here but an outline of what I have seen or heard during three years of my life and if I am wanting in figures and statistics and any thing of weight as regards the country written of, it is certainly because I recalled this Journal unexpectedly, and far from the scenes it once depicted.
I may have remembered too little, but that is preferable to remembering too much.
I have tried to confine myself to what is most pleasant, and it may be that a rambling truthful story is the best, if to make the work elaborate one must have recourse to fiction.

About the Author:
Frank Marryat, a well-to-do British adventurer, traveled to California via Panama with his manservant and three dogs in 1850 in pursuit of the exotic. Upon his return to England in 1853, he married and returned to California with his bride that same year. After contracting yellow fever while at sea, he had to cut his trip short to return to England, where he died two years later.
Review:
''A tale that is part Lady Isabella Bird, part Mark Twain, and part the traveling Charles Dickens.'' --Craig McCroskey, Sales Representative, Book Travelers West
