DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Down the Mother Lode The geologist and the historian agree as to its location and composition, but the old miners and' 'sojourners' 'of the vanished golden era give strangely different versions of it. Some of these are here set down, if not all for your enlightenment at least, I hope, for your entertainment. That is, after all, the principal aim of these tales of the old days. 1n California, that are gone for good. Mark Twain says in his preface to Roughing It that there is a great deal of information in his work, which he regrets very much but which really could not be helped, as information seems to stew out of me naturally, like the precious ottar of roses out of the otter! These stories make no such: particular claim! They are merely historical fragments of their everyday life, gathered from a passing generation before they shall be finally lost. Each one is based upon truth. Somewhere, sometime, some place, certain characters lived the scenes and actions here described. The title Mother Lode has been used in its broader sense, as exemplifying the source of all gold in California, and the life which arose from it.
