Irshman's Letter From the Gold Mines and Odd Anecdotes
A rough, humorous miscellany blends an Irishman’s tale of gold seeking and hard luck with a comic clipping about a deacon and his Bible quotations. The letter from Terrence McVrrpayt describes grim digs, scarce grub, gristly meat, and travel woes from New York to California, while a parable about a wasp sting and a pious deacon ends with a moral about prudent living and scripture.
