Synopsis
Excerpt from Leaves From an Argonaut's Note Book: A Collection of Holiday and Other Stories Illustrative of the Brighter Side of Mining Life in Pioneer Days
In presenting this volume as a candidate for public favor, the Author will be brief in his prefa tory 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.
