Crowbaits to Seek Fortunes on Crowbalt Gulch Diggings
The story follows Mont, Hi, Arty, Barney, Johnny, and others as they form a three-share partnership to mine along Crowbalt Gulch near Chapparal Creek. They berate crevicing rumors, prospect a first gold lump, claim their gulch, and envision future wealth while navigating camp dynamics and friendships. A narrator’s note then shifts to J. H. Alexander’s Arkansas voyage extolling emigration prospects and the region’s climate, soil, and railway-linked lands offered under favorable terms.
