Sole Survivor-A Fiction Adventure Anthology-Instant Book Review:

He watched as the “Marguerite” went down stern first in turbulent waters with all hands aboard. Shanghaied on the Bering Sea whaler “Northern Light” in 1901, the call to the Yukon in search of gold, choke on the ochre dust of an early Arizona cattle ranch starved for water; more precious than gold. Relive the frenzy of the penny mining stocks of the 1920’s or ’30’s. Is life worth living without a Hupmobile? In an era when change exploded in this country, survival required vigor and adaptation. And life then, as now, wasn’t easy. For international book fans, use this link to find your country’s Amazon store.

Lucky Joe-The Quest for Gold-Instant Book Preview:

I met Lucky Joe early in 1901 when I stowed away aboard the Elginshire out of Liverpool. We were both bound for San Francisco, where it was rumored the streets were paved with gold, but were shanghaied off the wharf of San Francisco aboard a whaler–NASTY!! If you can survive a whaler, you should be able to find gold in the Sierra’s–right?
