Set in the American Old West, this exciting story of high adventure and daring-do is highly recommended for children with an interest in history, and it is not to be missed by collectors of classic Western fiction.

Book excerpt: We have entered thus minutely into the details of our hero's dream, because it was the climax to along series of day-dreams in which he had indulged ever since the discovery of gold in California.Edward Sinton was a youth of eighteen at the time of which we write, and an orphan. He was tall, strong, broad-shouldered, fair-haired, blue-eyed, Roman-nosed, and gentle as a lamb. This laststatement may perhaps appear inconsistent with the fact that, during the whole course of his schoollife, he had a pitched battle every week-sometimes two or three in the week. Ned never began afight, and, indeed, did not like fighting. But some big boys will domineer over little ones, and Nedwould not be domineered over; consequently he had to be thrashed. He was possessed, even inboyhood, of an amount of physical courage that would have sufficed for any two ordinary men. Hedid not boast. He did not quarrel. He never struck the first blow, but, if twenty boys had attackedhim, he would have tried to fight them all. He never tyrannised over small boys. It was not hisnature to do so; but he was not perfect, any more than you are, dear reader. He sometimes punchedsmall boys' heads when they worried him, though he never did so without repenting of it, and doingthem a kindness afterwards in order to make up. He was very thoughtless, too, and very careless;nevertheless he was fond of books-specially of books of adventure-and studied these like ahero-as he was.Boys of his own size, or even a good deal bigger, never fought with Ned Sinton. They knew betterthan that; but they adored him, in some cases envied him, and in all cases trusted and followed him.It was only very big boys who fought with him, and all they got by it was a good deal of hardpummelling before they floored their little adversary, and a good deal of jeering from their comradesfor fighting a small boy. From one cause or another, Ned's visage was generally scratched, often cut, frequently swelled, and almost always black and blue.But as Ned grew older, the occasions for fighting became less frequent; his naturally amiabledisposition improved, (partly owing, no doubt, to the care of his uncle, who was, in every sense ofthe term, a good old man, ) and when he attained the age of fifteen and went to college, and wascalled "Sinton," instead of "Ned," his fighting days were over. No man in his senses would haveventured to attack that strapping youth with the soft blue eyes, the fair hair, the prominent nose, andthe firm but smiling lips, or, if he had, he would have had to count on an hour's extremely hardwork, whether the fortune of war went for or against him.

Book excerpt: Ned Sinton gazed at the scene before him with indescribable amazement! He had often witnessed strange things in the course of his short though chequered life, but he had never seen anything like this. Many a dream of the most extravagant nature had surrounded his pillow with creatures of curious form and scenes of magic beauty, but never before, either by actual observation or in nightly vision, had Ned Sinton beheld a scene so wonderful as that which now lay spread out before him. Ned stood in the centre of a cavern of vast dimensions-so vast, and so full of intense light, that instead of looking on it as a huge cave, he felt disposed to regard it as a small world. The sides of this cavern were made of pure gold, and the roof-far above his head-was spangled all over with glittering points, like a starry sky. The ground, too, and, in short, everything within the cave, was made of the same precious metal. Thousands of stalactites hung from the roof like golden icicles. Millions of delicate threads of the same material also depended from the star-spangled vault, each thread having a golden ball at the end of it, which, strange to say, was transparent, and permitted a bright flame within to shine through, and shed a yellow lustre over surrounding objects. All the edges, and angles, and points of the irregularly-formed walls were of burnished gold, which reflected the rays of these pendant lamps with dazzling brilliancy, while the broad masses of the frosted walls shone with a subdued light. Magnificent curtains of golden filigree fell in rich voluminous folds on the pavement, half concealing several archways which led into smaller caverns, similar to the large one. Altogether it was a scene of luxurious richness and splendour that is utterly indescribable.
