Morristown, the winter of 1780: Washington's army is freezing and mutinous, a Jersey farmer's daughter is courted by two officers, and somebody is passing information. Harte made the California gold rush into literature and gave America its gamblers and its snowbound cabins; here he leaves the West for the Revolution, and the cold is as convincing as anything in his mining camps.

Two prospectors find a cabin in a fold of the California hills with a woman in it and no explanation, and the arrangement they come to shapes the next fifteen years. Harte made the gold rush into literature and gave America its gamblers and its snowbound cabins; this late novel is quieter than the famous stories and harder about what the camps did to the women in them.
