About this book

Bret Harte wades into a controversy surrounding California mining in the late 1800s with a tale that invokes many aspects of the New Idria Mercury Mine case. In the process of untangling a knotted web of competing ownership claims, a band of rough-around-the-edges mountain folk find themselves embroiled in the political process.
