Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Comstock Club
But when this soldier of peace assaults the wilder ness, no bugles sound the charge the forest, the des ert, the wild beast, the savage, the malaria, the fatigue, are the foes that lurk to ambush him, and if, against the unequal Odds, he falls, no volleys are fired above him the pitiless world merely sponges his name from its slate.
Thus he blazes the trails, thus he fells the trees, thus he plants his rude stakes, thus he faces the hardships, and whatever fate awaits him, his self contained soul keeps its finger on his lips, and no lamentations are heard.

Excerpt from The Comstock Club
"The pioneer! Who shall fitly tell the story of his life and work?
"The soldier leads an assault; it lasts but a few minutes; he knows that whether he lives or dies, immortality will be his reward. What wonder that there are brave soldiers!
"Hut when this soldier of peace assaults the wilderness. no bugles sound the charge; the forest, the desert, the wild beast, the savage, the malaria, the fatigue, are the foes that lurk to ambush him, and if, against the unequal odds, he falls, no volleys are fired above him; the pitiless world merely sponges his name from its slate.
"Thus he blazes the trails, thus he fells the trees, thus he plants his rude stakes, thus he faces the hardships, and whatever fate awaits him. his self-contained soul keeps its finger on his lips, and no lamentations are heard.
"He smooths the rugged fields, he turns the streams, and the only cheer that is his is when he sees the grain ripen, and the flowers bloom where before was only the frown of the wilderness.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an insightful portrait of life in the tumultuous early days of the Comstock Lode, an era of both prosperity and hardship for many miners. The author, an adventurous journalist and poet, narrates his experiences encountering settlers, fellow miners, businessmen, and many other characters that made up the vibrant landscape of Virginia City. Through vivid descriptions and thematically rich storytelling, we learn of the robust culture of the West, where perseverance was as prized as gold and the hardships of frontier life were balanced by resourcefulness and community bonds. The author also explores the impact of the Comstock on the broader American economy and the scramble to profit from its boundless mineral wealth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
