Excerpt from With Fortune Made a NovelWhat he did in America, how he set to work to win a great fortune, no one ever exactly knew. It is asserted that having left New York to go West, he got hold of a ranch to let in Dakota, and paid the government an absurdly small price for it, after a judicious distribution of gratuities. Twelve years later, it appears, he sold off his ten thousand head of cattle, and left for the Rockies, whither the stream of adventurers was steadily ¿owing. For some time he tried one new spot after another without finding anything, and was beginning to get discouraged when a lucky chance discovered to him a silver mine so rich that in a short time it was yielding him two thousand dollars a day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
