Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of Dick Onslow Among the Red Indians Some months passed away; I had learned to use my axe as well as any of them, and a fine large clearing had been made, when the newspapers, of which we occasionally had one, told us all about the wonderful gold-diggings in California. At last we talked of little else as we sat round the big fire in the stone chimney during the evenings Of winter. Neighbours dropped in and talked over the matter also. There was no doubt money was to be made, and quickly too, by men with strong arms and iron constitutions. We all agreed that if any men were fit for the work, we were. I was the weakest of the party, do ye see. (dick stands five feet ten in his shoes, and is as broad-shouldered as a drayman.) Just then, an Oldish man with only two stout sons and a small family drove into the forest with a light waggon and a strong team of horses, to look about him, as he said, for a location. He came to our house, and Laban and he had a long talk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
