Excerpt from The Goldenrod Lode: A Frontier Drama in VerseTo the historian, in retrospect, it is difficult to say that the play was the climax of the eve ning. It was an integral part of the entertain ment and fitted so perfectly into the scheme of things that the memory of that autumn eve ning in the hills is like the colors of sunset all blended in one harmonious whole. In the early dusk the members and their many guests assembled at the camping ground in the open space above the theatre where on grills placed over glowing charcoal fires a delicious supper was prepared.It was almost dark when supper was over. Stars glimmered overhead or beckoned from behind the trees that topped the surrounding mountain sides. It was time for the play.When the play was over, we straggled up the path again to the camp site. A large camp fire was lighted, about which we gathered. Songs were started, and stories told. Time was forgotten. It was well past midnight when the last of our guests had departed and the few hardy souls who remained had left the glow ing embers for the warmth of their blanket rolls.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
