Tales of the Sierras 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In presenting tales OF the sierras to the public, I do so in the belief that it will find general favor with its readers. I do not hope to fill a long felt want, but I do anticipate filling a niche all my own. I have not followed any well-trodden path in my style of literature, but have rather sought to be entirely original.
