About this book

Two friends follow the lure of gold from Texas to California in 1849, then discover different ways to spend their mining earnings. Jack takes to San Francisco's busy social life, while Dade buys a white horse and finds a welcome at Don Andres Picardo's ranch near Palo Alto. B. M. Bower places their friendship between the unsettled mining town and cattle country, where hospitality offers another kind of attraction.

A later conversation exposes the strain beneath their easy companionship. Jack worries about Dade's opinion after a violent encounter, and Dade questions the habit of reaching for a gun before understanding a dispute. Teasing helps ease their tension, while Jack's account of Teresita and José brings romantic rivalry into the story.
