Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of the Argonauts, And, in a Hollow of the Hills: And Other Tales As so much of my writing has dealt with the Argonauts of '49, I propose, by way of introduction, to discourse brie y on an episode of American life as quaint and typical as that of the Greek adventurers whose name I have bor rowed. It is a crusade without a cross, an exodus with out a prophet. It is not a pretty story; I do not know that it is even instructive. It is of a life of which, per haps, the best that can be said is that it exists no longer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
