{"product_id":"2940149804245","title":"Redskin and Cow-Boy by G. A. Henty","description":"Cedar Gulch was, in 1851, a flourishing camp. There had been some good finds by the first prospectors, and a rush had of course followed. In many cases first discoveries proved illusive, but it was not so at Cedar Gulch. The ground turned out well, and although no extraordinary finds were made, the average was good all over the bottom, and there were few who were not doing fairly well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scene was a busy one. Several hundreds of men were hard at work on the flat, which in winter was the bed of a wide stream, but which in summer was a mere thread of water among the rocks, scarce enough for washing purposes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverywhere were piles of stones and rubbish that had been brought up from the shafts; men toiled at windlasses; others emptied the buckets as they came up into swinging troughs or cradles; others again kept these supplied with water, and swung or rocked them, taking off the large stones that the motion brought to the surface, while the slush and mud ran out at the lower end. New-comers moved about watching the work with eager eyes, wishing that they had had the luck to get there among the early arrivals, and to take up a claim, for every foot of ground far down the valley had already been occupied, and [12] there was now no getting into a claim except by purchasing a share or altogether buying out the present holders.","brand":"aqeel aslam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109220565232,"sku":"2940149804245","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149804245_p0.jpg?v=1763724338","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149804245","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
