Bennington, a well-off young Easterner raised on a story-book idea of the West, arrives in a mining country of spires and spirit mountains to hunt for gold. He finds instead a mocking, elusive girl he cannot catch, a pioneers’ picnic, rough business partners, and finally a band of claim jumpers who test whether he has any grit at all.
An early, good-natured romance of the mining frontier from a writer who knew the outdoor West well. Download the free EPUB.
