However, if there was one thing about Cappy you could depend upon absolutely it was the consistency of his inconsistency. For, having announced his retirement, his very next move was to bewail his inability to retire.’

Webster Man’s Man

1917. The book begins: When John Stuart Webster, mining engineer and kicker up of dust on distant trails, flagged the S.P.L.A. and S.L. Limited at a blistered board station in Death Valley, California, he had definitely resolved to do certain things. To begin, he would invade the dining car at the first call to dinner and order approximately twenty dollars’ worth of ham and eggs, which provender is, as all who know will certify, the pinnacle of epicurean delight to an old sourdough coming out of the wilderness with a healthy bankroll and a healthier appetite; for even as the hydrophobic dog avoids water, so does the adventurer of the Webster type avoid the weird concoctions of high priced French chefs until he has first satisfied that void which yawns to receive ham and eggs.

The Valley of the Giants

1918. Begins: In the summer of 1850 a topsail schooner slipped into the cove under Trinidad Head and dropped anchor at the edge of the kelp fields. Fifteen minutes later her small boat deposited on the beach a man armed with long squirrel rifle and an axe, and carrying food and clothing in a brown canvas pack. From the beach he watched the boat return and saw the schooner weigh anchor and stand out to sea before the northwest trades. When she had disappeared from his ken, he swung his pack to his broad and powerful back and strode resolutely into the timber at the mouth of a little river. The man was John Cardigan; in that lonely, hostile land he was the first pioneer. This is the tale of Cardigan and Cardigan’s son, for in his chosen land the pioneer leader in the gigantic task of hewing a path for civilization was to know the bliss of woman’s love and of parenthood, and the sorrow that comes of the loss of a perfect mate; he was to know the tremendous joy of accomplishment and worldly success after infinite labor; and in the sunset of life he was to know the dull despair of failure and ruin. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

I want no row about it. I can’t bear to hear your mother and sisters carrying on longer. I’ll never get over thinking what a pity it is that girl is damaged goods. She must not be wife to son of mine.’ The young laird of Tyee bowed his head. ‘I can’t give her up, father,’ he murmured. ‘By God, I can’t!’ ‘There can be no happiness without hono, and you’ll not be the first to make our name a jest in the mouths of Port Agnew. You will write her and tell her of my decision; if you do not wish to, then I shall do it for you. Trust her to understand and not hold it against you. And it is my wish that you should not see her again. She must be cared for, but when that time comes, I shall attend to it; you know me well enough to realize I’ll do that well.’ He laid his hand tenderly on the young man’s shoulder. ‘This is your first love, my son. Time and hard work will help you forget and I’ll wait for my grandson.’ ‘And if I should not agree to this what?’ ‘Obey me for a month and then ask me that question if you will. I’m I’m a bit unprepared for an answer on such short notice.’ Donald bowed his head. ‘Very well, sir. I’ll think it over for a month on one condition.’ ‘Thank you, my son,’ said The Laird of Tyee. ‘And what is the condition?’ ‘Let mother and the girls go to Seattle or Honolulu or Shanghai or some other seaport anywhere, provided they’re not at The Dreamerie when I return to Port Agnew. I’m going to spend that damnable month in the woods, week ends and all, and wrestle with this problem.’ Old Hector smiled a small smile. ‘I’m an old ass,’ he declared. ‘Have it your own…

The Pride of Palomar

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: m f i HERE were three people in the observation car when Michael Joseph Farrel boarded it a few minutes before eight o’clock the following morning. Of the three, one was a girl, and, as Farrel entered, carrying the souvenirs of his service a helmet and gas mask she glanced at him with the interest which the average civilian manifests in any soldier obviously just released from service and homeward bound. Far rel’s glance met hers for an instant with equal interest; then he turned to stow his impedimenta in the brass rack over his seat. He was granted an equally swift but more direct appraisal of her as he walked down the observation car to the rear platform, where he selected a chair in a corner that offered him sanctuary from the cold, fog laden breeze, lighted a cigar, and surrendered himself to contemplating, in his mind’s? eye, the joys of home coming. He had the platform to himself until after the train had passed Palo Alto, when others joined him. The first to emerge on the platform was a Japanese. Farrel favored him with a cool, contemptuous scrutiny, for he was a Californian and did not hold the members of this race in a tithe of the eeteem he accorded other Orientals. This Japanese was rather shprter and thinner than the majority of his race. He worelarge, round tortoise shell spectacles, and clothes that proclaimed the attention of the very best tailors; a gold band ring, set with one blue white diamond and two exquisite sapphires, adorned the pudgy finger of his right hand. Parrel judged that his gray beaver hat must have cost at least fifty dollars. ‘We ought to have Jim Crow cars for these cocksure sons of Nippon,’ the ex soldier growled to himself. ‘We’ll come to it yet if something isn’t done about them. They breed so fast they’ll have us crowded into bac…

Never the Twain Shall Meet

1923. Frontispiece by Dean Cornwell. The book begins: It was a song that never before had been sung; once sung, never again would it be heard. Such a song, indeed, as little girls croon to their dolls; half funeral chant, half hymn, sung in a minor key by a girl with a powerfully sweet lyric soprano. The last of the land breeze carried it aft to Gaston Larrieau, the master the of 200 ton auxiliary trading schooner Moorea, where he stood on the top step of the companion, his leonine head and tremendous shoulders showing above the deck house, as he smoked his first after breakfast pipe.

They Also Serve

1927. The book begins: The never ending talk about the Great War that goes on between the Skipper and the Top is what got me started on this story. Were I a man instead of a horse I would write it and call it my autobiography, because in my story I am going to include everything of any importance that has ever happened to me up to the present when nothing happens any more. For I consider I have lived my life, and hereafter about all I shall do will be to stand around, switch files and talk about the portion of my life wherein I truly lived.

Outlaws of Eden

1929. This is the story of two youngsters who took the law into their own hands. They had good precedent. Their cattle baron families had never invoked any other justice save a six shooter, and for seventy years the Hensleys and the Kershaws had waged a bloody feud for the possession of Eden Valley. Now, Nate, the last Hensley, and raven haired Lorraine, the remaining Kershaw, were fighting again for their beloved heritage, but this time together. For a serpent had come into Eden to nest on the Valley lands. He knew how irrigation projects and power dams could be manipulated for unholy profits; he fought in a new way with guild and mob propaganda and twisted legalities. So Lorry and Nate went to war for their own, but in the ways of their own ancestral six shooters and all. Here is a story that only the inimitable Kyne could create for you.
