I was also influenced by its associations, as it figures prominently in Bret Harte's stories. Of the four famous rivers the Stanislaus, Mokelumne, American and Cosumnes which I crossed on this trip, the Mokelumne appealed to me the most. Whatever the meaning of the Indian name, one may rest assured it stands for some form of beauty.
Young and good-looking, her face was both refined and strong. Some of Bret Harte's characters were suggested. With great labor and intelligence she had brought order out of chaos, and had so indexed her books with reference to creeks and individuals as to render the work of the searcher comparatively simple. A few words concerning mining law as applied to Alaska seem now appropriate.
I have just now received your letter of the 25th past, N. S., and, by the former post, one from Mr. Harte; with both which I am very well pleased: with Mr. Harte's, for the good account which he gives me of you; with yours, for the good account which you gave me of what I desired to be informed of.

She found herself wondering where this man had learned to do these little things which are no part of the training of the far out cattle men. During the first half of the meal there was no reference to the happening at Harte's Camp.
Harte's description, seem to be 'des gens d'une amiable absence'; and, if you can replace them by any other German conversation, you will be a gainer by the bargain.
Harte's stories, and in this little group of them, regathered, we believe, from English magazines, each is interesting in its way, and each true to the author's typical idea, which is to discover to his readers some heroic quality in unheroic human beings which transforms their whole lives before our eyes.

To leave nothing doubtful upon this important point I will tell you fairly, beforehand, by what rule I shall judge of your conduct by Mr. Harte's accounts.
