If you did not know this part of the fabled "fairyland," California, you would surely be disappointed at the dreary outlook and fain seek a fairer portion of the State. The yellow three-seated stage seems intent only upon creeping up these hills and rattling down on the other side, there to find before it another. Process repeated - there is still another ahead in monotonous and seemingly never-ending succession. They seem monotonous indeed, also never ending, to the one lone passenger on board that day. After a frugal meal at a wayside inn, - begging its pardon, hotel I mean, for the sign was not so weatherbeaten but you could see it was a hotel; after the meal, the miles seemed to lengthen out and our fair passenger will always believe her watch ran slowly that day. Yes, my fair lady reader, it was a woman, or stay, it was a girl, - a girl going out to teach school at Lonesome Glen. Have you ever known Lonesome Glen? Few have, save the residents of this dreary place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
