Excerpt from A Tenderfoot With Peary "Please write me a preface," said the boy, "if only of a hundred lines"-he is only a boy. Yet, like the youth of all ages, he is full of the spirit of adventure, possibly inherited from his forebears, who saw duty, in the army, or as pioneers on the far western plains. When our gallant little army fought its way across the continent to the Pacific coast, in the days now gone forever, it was regarded as the school of heroic endeavor for the youth of our nation. As well it might be, for the highway from east to west now happily spanned by the rails of commerce and peace was for more than a hundred years a trail of blood and death. And following back the course of the pioneers, it takes but a short stretch of the imagination to carry us to the heroic days of the fair-haired, blue-eyed Norsemen, who, impelled by the spirit of adventure, took to their ships after the farming season was over and sailed the seas near and far.

Excerpt from Tenderfoot and Expert On receipt of the above telegram from Tenderfoot to meet him at Reno, Expert took the noted Southern Pacific Limited for Goldfield. While quietly admiring the Grand Gorge, the American River had cut through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, about two hundred miles east of San Francisco, who should drop alongside of Expert and sing out, as they were passing Dutch Flat, hut a wiry, little old man. well groomed and with a high-pitched voice: "I never saw these diggin's before, but I know all about 'em. I also know about Union Valley, Hangtown, Grizzly Flat, Yuba Hill and Yuba Dam," as he pointed a long, slender finger beyond Dutch Flat. "And then I was a forty-niner a-working on the river bar in old Mariposa County. Mighty hard work, this mining business, working in the water, a-scrapin' of the bed rock for those little chunks of gold, I got stiffer than a poker, yes I did, yes I did." Expert said: "These diggings in Forty-nine around Grizzly Flat, Yuba Hill and Yuba Dam were far richer, so history says, than the placer diggings in old Mariposa." The old man braced up and said: "There was mighty rich spots in old Mariposa, yes there was, yes there was." He warmed up and said in a high key to prove the wonders of Mariposa County: "I knew a feller down there on the Merced River who came from 'Old Mizzoura, ' who, by the way, was a fine young chap, who picked up a dirty rock and found it was heavy, and when he washed off the dirt, what do you think? It was a gold nugget worth nigh onto three thousand dollars, yes he did, yes he did. What der you think? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
