Description

W.A. Chalfant, dean of California newspaper editors, has chronicled the history of the California-Nevada border as he himself heard it recounted or saw it occur during his fifty-five years of continuous service as editor of The Inyo Register of Bishop, California.
The author tells of the country, of its inhabitants, of the ups and downs of some of the camps, of its prospectors, of the luck, good or bad, rather than recounting only the deeds and activities of a few of the "headline" characters of the old days.
Chalfant's anecdotes are not the "tall tales" that grow taller with each retelling, and are probably the more interesting for that reason. One that appealed particularly to the publishers is in the chapter on "Law as It Was Administered." We hope you like it: It is related that magistrates of the early courts of the Far West included men of widely varying character and ability, from men who were very capable "to the Bodie justice of rabbit-like powers of decision who, after prolonged arguments by opposing attorneys, threw the issue back in their laps with the statesmen: 'You'll have to settle it between yourselves; I can't make heard nor tail of it.' "
The author: W. A. ("Bill") Chalfant was born in Virginia City, Nevada, and has lived all of his life in the high Sierra country. In 1885 his family moved to Bishop, and there in 1885 started The Inyo Register. His life has been full of action, of editorial battles fought and won, of civic leadership that is typical of a man who knows well whereof he speaks -- and writes. For years he has been gathering the material which is included in this book.
