Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Days of 49: A Tale of the California Diggings Amid all the surrounding confusion, leaning upon the rail at the stern of the steamer, stood one young man, lonely and alone, apparently paying no heed to what was going on about him. At the boom ofsthe starting gun, and the splash of revolving paddle-wheels announcing that the moment of departure had arrived, he started, like one who had been dreaming, and made a movement toward the gangway as though resolved to be of those who were to remain behind. If such was his intention he was too late to carry it into effect for the plank had been withdrawn, and already the steamer was in motion. A parting cheer, accompanied bv a volley of snowballs from some mischievous boys on an adjacent wharf, and the great ship had begun to plough her way over the leaden waters, through the snow-laden air, and beneath the cold, gray sky, toward the sunshine of the tropics.

This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bill's Mistake a Story of the California Redwoods It was a warm day in early June; one of those days when you just simply cannot stay in; a day that was never made for a school-room or for study; when a dip in the surf or a hike among the redwoods would be far more preferable than a drowsy school-room; a day that meant you must be out of doors. But it was all over, anyway-for a time, at least. The last bell was ringing. Vaca tion had begun for the students of the Santa Cruz High School. Groups of boys and girls came pouring out of the doors, laughing and chattering, with happy, smiling faces; only occasionally a long-drawn face appearing among them - no doubt that of some child who had failed to be promoted. But they were all glad to be free for a long two' months to come; all were glad to get out into the beautiful summer day.

Now I was swallowed alive with all the individuality I ever had ironed out Of me. I walked the streets with an aching heart. What could I do to earn my keep? I tried to get a position as bookkeeper, thinking that would be a genteel life for a college boy. But no, they had no time to teach a schoolboy without experience. I tried to get a place clerking in the stores, but had no references and less experience. I looked at the list Of work Offered by the employment Offices, but nothing but heavy muscular labor was wanted. I came near shipping to the western corn fields in answer to a demand for corn huskers. I had once been a capable hand in the field, but college days had softened my hands as well as determination. I was in desperation. NO one wanted a college boy. I Should be able to do things, not read about other people's thoughts and think I could do things. The futility Of all my labor in college came over me like a flash. I must put my hand to the wheel and learn to do things.
