Excerpt from Erema, Vol. 1 of 3: Or My Father's Sin Until my father fell and died, I never dreamed that he could die. I knew that his mind was quite made up to see me safe in my new home, and then himself to start again for still remoter solitudes. And when his mind was thus made up, who had ever known him fail of it? If ever a resolute man there was, that very man was my father. And he showed it now, in this the last and fatal act of his fatal life. Captain, here I leave you all, ' he shouted to the leader of our waggon-train, at a place where a dark, narrow gorge departed from the moil some mountain - track. My reasons are my own; let no man trouble himself about them. All my baggage I leave with you. I have paid my share of the venture, and shall claim it at Sacramento. My little girl and I will take this Short cut through the mountains.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
