Book excerpt: COEUR D'ALENE GOLD BUST is the tale of a short-lived gold stampede to northern Idaho that occurred in the early 1880's, as told through newspaper accounts of the times. In 1881, a lone prospector by the name of A.J. Pritchard, who had been grub-staked by a rich widow, discovered gold along the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River in Idaho Territory. He set about filing claims to tie up much of the land. Through Pritchard's boastful talk and letters to friends, as well as the promotional literature put out by the Northern Pacific Railway, promising "free gold in North Idaho for the price of a ticket on the railroad," word got out that there was a fortune to be had for anyone willing to come there and seek it. Hundreds of people flocked to the area. However, once they got there, most of them had their dreams shattered. The promised gold bonanza did not exist. They returned home penniless and defeated. In an ironic twist, this book, COEUR D'ALENE GOLD BUST, ends with the tale of how it was a small burro that made the richest find of all in the Coeur d'Alene gold stampede of the 1880's. Despite mighty efforts and sacrifices put forth by hundreds of fools with gold fever, who endured untold harsh conditions in search of a gold bonanza, it was not one of these two-legged jackasses-but a four-legged one-that made the biggest fortune of all from what turned out to be the great Coeur d'Alene gold bust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of Sir Harry Perry Robinson (1859-1930) unfolds like a Boy's Own adventure. Born in India and educated at Oxford, Harry fled to the United States to make his name and fortune. After a stint in the gold mines of the American West, he became a major force in the railroad industry and helped to elect a U.S. President. Returning to England, Harry had a celebrated career as a book publisher (discovering the American author Jack London) and as a journalist for The Times, serving as the oldest correspondent during the First World War and going on to have one of the scoops of the century: the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1923. Harry's incredible journey unfolds against the background of his equally adventurous and accomplished family. His father, Julian, was an Indian Army chaplain and newspaper editor. His aunt was a suffragette and personal friend of both Disraeli and Gladstone. Brother Philip was a dashing foreign correspondent, arrested as a spy during the Spanish-American War. Brother Edward ('Kay'), founder of the British Empire Naturalists' Association, gave Rudyard Kipling his first writing job. And troubled sister Valence was rumoured to end her days living in a barrel on a roadside in Bulawayo. From the White House to Buckingham Palace, the American West to the Western Front, the sands of Egypt to the shores of India, the board room to the bedroom, Harry was a master of reinvention, and each of the nine 'lives' he assumed allowed an 'escape' from one experience into the next. His innate wanderlust was both a blessing and a curse, but it made for a splendid adventure, and Harry's was a grand life lived in history's shadow.

Download or read book Play Money written by Julian Dibbell and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-03-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Play Money explores a remarkable new phenomenon that's just beginning to enter public consciousness: MMORPGs, or Massively MultiPlayer Online Role-Playing Games, in which hundreds of thousands of players operate fantasy characters in virtual environments the size of continents. With city-sized populations of nearly full-time players, these games generate their own cultures, governments, and social systems and, inevitably, their own economies, which spill over into the real world. The desire for virtual goods -- magic swords, enchanted breastplates, and special, hard-to-get elixirs -- has spawned a cottage industry of "virtual loot farmers": People who play the games just to obtain fantasy goods that they can sell in the real world. The best loot farmers can make between six figures a year and six figures a month.Play Money is an extended walk on the weird side: a vivid snapshot of a subculture whose denizens were once the stuff of mere sociological spectacle but now -- with computer gaming poised to eclipse all other entertainments in dollar volume, and with the lines between play and work, virtual and real increasingly blurred -- look more and more like the future.
