Synopsis
Excerpt from Occidental Sketches I submit a preface, more to conform to custom than for any thing else. In it, however, I will take occasion to state that the names of persons and places and situations in "Hill Beechey's Dream," "An Episode of Echo Canon," "A Mid night Adventure in Nevada," "Three Extinct Citizens," "The Wickenburg Massacre," and "A Sensation in the Orange Groves," are all real and true in each particular respect. In the sketch entitled "Divorced on the Desert," the main facts have been preserved, with the real names of the characters changed to fictitious ones, for reasons not necessary to present."An Hour with an Antediluvian" is an enlargement of a scene that actually did occur. The other sketches are presented for the general information and entertainment of all who peruse the book.

Occidental Sketches (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of sketches and short stories penned by the author as an eyewitness to the tumultuous early days of the American West, between 1863-1875. The author, himself a pioneer, offers an authentic glimpse of the era's outlaws, vigilantes, and miners during the California Gold Rush. The sketches vibrantly depict the societal evolution of the Wild West, from the redistribution of justice by vigilante groups to the transformation of lawless territories into civilized municipalities. Through tales like "Hill Beechey's Dream" and "Divorced on the Desert," the author explores the complex human experiences of love, loss, and violence against the backdrop of the untamed frontier. These stories, drawn from real events, provide a vivid historical account of the American West during a period of dramatic change and growth.
