Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old Cobbler and Other Poems Including the Rock That Is Higher Than I
Oi the seven who were in California, not one ever took a glass of intoxicating drink, nor used tobacco, nor got rich, nor used a profane word; and the same is true of all the family. After navigating the bark from Chili to San Francisco, as a necessity, California became my sixth home for about eight years, occupation ranch ing and teaching, marrying one of Maine's two best girls (the other afterward in Pittsburg). I pass over the sadness, God tempers to the lamb that's shorn, His chilly winds that blow. Two were left to me, a daughter and a son.
