A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Eastern and Western friends to write up my life in Nevada, and tell them how I managed to sustain myself and child, carry on law, and lay up property. They wish to know something of Pacific life ;the manners and customs of the people; all about the Chinamen, the Piutes, and the mines of the Comstock. They wish to know all I can tell them of the Pacific Coast after a ten years sojourn in California and Nevada. All have persuaded me that such a book would be very interesting, and have an ext nsive circulation. I shall endeavor to write nothing but facts gathered from my own observation and experience, or from other reliable sources. My readers will see I had but one purpose in going to Nevada that of ascertaining the facts concerning my brothers death and his business affairs, and, if possible, to bring his murderer to justice, and to prove to his friends that he did not die a beggar, as was represented by Mr. G. G. Waters, the man who took charge of his papers. They will also see with what tenacity I clung to my purpose, never allowing any obstacle to hinder, or fear deter me. They will see that while accomplishing it we had to endure a great deal of sickness, privations, trials, and hard work. We did not shrink from honest labors, but engaged in anything that would further our purpose, regardless of the opinion of the high-toned. We took Co Hscietue for our guide, and left the rest to God. Our vocations were as checkered and numerous as those of P. T.
