It is a must-read for fans of Western fiction and history with vivid accounts of the hardships, hopes, successes, and failures of prospectors in a frontier mining community. From the original book description:'A sailor with an Irishman's yearning for the hills stood braced against a San Francisco bar. The air was electric with the talk of gold and Nevada. Fifteen months later this seagoing prospector and an Albino mule had made a ten strike-two years later a fortune had slipped through his hands'.
