    About this ebook

    Published in 1918, Gold and Iron collects three of the author's finest novellas: Wild Oranges, a gripping hybrid of adventure and romance, about a man's attempt to escape the stultifying confines of civilization; Tubal Cain, a short novel which features the title character's struggle from poverty to becoming the greatest iron master in Pennsylvania; and The Dark Fleece, about Jason Burrage, a murderer who strikes gold in California.
