Love Letters in a Yorkshire Romance and Alaska Gold

A serialized fiction excerpt follows Lucilla Richmond torn between a music teacher lover and her parents. After a ruse with old love letters, the truth about their romance surfaces, ending in a wedding and family harmony. The piece shifts to news about Secretary Seward’s Alaska purchase and a bonanza of gold, with Alaska’s Yukon valley named a richest gold field.
