All was not fair in the bull and bear fights held during the California Gold Rush. The bulls were hardly given a chance, having one leg tied while the bear was allowed to swat him at will with those powerful arms of his. It really came down to economics. Bears were hard to capture and bulls were cheap. Their hides were worth more than their meat. The big search is over. Peg Leg Smith's lost gold mine has been found and the gold has been invested. It is still a great read so enjoy the story in this book. Author Alton Pryor says this is most likely his last book. He'll reach his 90th birthday in the year 2017 and figures he's had the greatest ride in the world. He's done exactly what he wanted to do and left a pretty good legacy besides.

As a young man in the summer of 1897, Jack London joined the Klondike gold rush. From that seminal experience emerged these gripping, inimitable wilderness tales, which have endured as some of London’s best and most defining work. With remarkable insight and unflinching realism, London describes the punishing adversity that awaited men in the brutal, frozen expanses of the Yukon, and the extreme tactics these adventurers and travelers adopted to survive. As Van Wyck Brooks observed, “One felt that the stories had been somehow lived–that they were not merely observed–that the author was not telling tales but telling his life.” This edition is unique to the Modern Library, featuring twenty-three carefully chosen stories from London’s three collected Northland volumes and his later Klondike tales. It also includes two maps of the region, and notes on the text.

The majestic landscapes of Brett Harte's California unite with Larry McMurtry's epic old west realism in an explosion of love, lust, murder and betrayal that comes to a powerful climax along a beautiful stream, home to the largest strike in the mines, where a burning barn ignites the passion of a gold rush boomtown and, in one dark night of revenge, earns that stream the name it bears to this day-HANGTOWN CREEK.
