Old Driver's Death on the Klamath Trail
The narrative follows a winter crossing in 1886 from a ranch on Eagle Lake in Southern Oregon to Yreka California. A stormy descent with Scarfaced Charley and Modoc Jim danger, a near-fatal wagon crash, and the loss of two horses frame a grim tale of frontier travel and a driver’s bravado amid hostile figures.

Interviewer Intrusions in America Stir Critique in 19th Century Snippets
In Max O’Hell’s book a critic argues journalism destroys literature and exposes the invasive American interviewer. He notes the reporter’s audacity, tireless pursuit, and public exposure of private life, while praising courteous but intrusive practices. A second excerpt recalls Albert Fleming’s Century reflection on hand spinning in Westmoreland and the value of self supporting projects, plus a curious tale of black ants as pickle garnish observed by workers.
