Summary
This book is merely a personal narrative, and not a pretentious history or a philosophical dissertation. It is a record of several years of variegated vagabondizing, and its object is rather to help the resting reader while away an idle hour than afflict him with metaphysics, or goad him with science. Still, there is information in the volume; information concerning an interesting episode in the history of the Far West, about which no books have been written by persons who were on the ground in person, and saw the happenings of the time with their own eyes.
First line
My brother had just been appointed Secretary of Nevada Territory-an office of such majesty that is concentrated in itself the duties and dignities of treasurer, comptroller, secretary of state, and acting governor in the governor's absence.
