This was California, after all -- thousands of miles away from the trouble brewing between the North and the South. When duty calls, Clarence joins the Union Army and becomes a General. Susy marries a politician. Of course, Mrs. Brant must come along to Washington D.C. to be beside her husband. But although Clarence knows that his wife sympathized with the cause of the Secessionists, little did he know that she was a part of a California conspiracy, that she was a spy for the Confederates -- And that, in the midst of fevered battle, he would be accused of treason! Here is an exciting novel by the author of "Outcasts of Poker Flat" and "The Luck of Roaring Camp." |

Contributor Bio(s): Harte, Bret: - "Francis Bret Harte (1836 - 1902) was an American short story writer and poet, best remembered for his short fiction featuring miners, gamblers and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush. In a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, fiction, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials and magazine sketches in addition to fiction. As he moved from California to the eastern U.S. to Europe, he incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories but his Gold Rush tales have been most often reprinted, adapted and admired." |
