San Francisco: The Whitaker & Ray Company, 1905. 8vo, 304 p., original blue cloth stamped in gilt. First edition of this scarce collection of tales about gold mining in California in the mid nineteenth century, with seven plates by Laura Adams Armer. Though ostensibly based on the author's experiences, the stories are largely fictional. According to Howes, the majority of the edition was destroyed in the San Francisco fire, and most of the copies that come to market frequently show up in poor condition. Light spotting and soiling to cloth, corners lightly frayed, else a clean copy. Uncommon.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
