This is a work of fiction set near the time of the gold strikes in California in 1849. Illustrated with line drawings. The author states: "Before beginning this story I talked with men of the gold rush and stage coach days, with bankers, lawyers and business men. Attired in an old hat, tattered coat and well worn shoes I met oraters, agitators and dreamers in public parks. I even road with hobos in empty cattle cars in order that I might make an historical novel. . ." California Gold Rush, Arizona History, Old West
