Synopsis
Excerpt from The Star Well: And Other Stories
Ours was more like a camping party than a drilling outfit, and we had some mighty good times. Miss Ginger was the soul of it all. She was one of those women that is always a joy to see. Whether she was in her 'sunday go-to-meeting' clothes or in tramping togs, she was beautiful, and looked as fresh as a June rose. She had that 'godless grace and snap and style' of the New York bred woman that Mark Twain tells of in his Life on the M issis sippi. Miss Ginger surely was a fine young woman; and every roughneck on the job was dead in love with her.
