A novella-length pseudo memoir by the author of the Three Musketeers. An unnamed French narrator relates his adventures in the California goldfields circa 1850. "Even though Dumas never ventured any farther west than Portugal, this long out-of-print travelogue remains one of California's strangest high spots." - David Kipen, SF Gate
