About This Book

Two prospecting partners who run a small placer mine experience comic misadventures after one partner travels east seeking investors and returns newly civilized but broke, having purchased an unexpected cassowary shipped from a pet shop. The episodic tale follows their efforts to manage the exotic bird, handle frontier shortages, and cope with the talkative, trouble-prone partner whose drunken escapades and flamboyant attire unsettle local townsfolk. A series of slapstick incidents and encounters with colorful neighbors highlights the clash between get-rich schemes, urban affectations, and rough-and-ready rural life.
