1916. Illustrated. Rex Beach was well on his way to becoming a
lawyer when he was hit by Gold Rush Fever and left for the Klondike
to strike it rich. He never found gold, but his travels had sparked
his imagination and he began to write. His tales of adventures
quickly made him into a popular author. Rainbow's End begins: In
all probability your first view of the valley of the Yumuri will be
from the Hermitage of Montserrate, for it is there that the
cocheros drive you. Up the winding road they take you, with the bay
at your back and the gorge at your right, to the crest of a narrow
ridge where the chapel stands. Once there, you overlook the fairest
sight in all Christendom-the loveliest valley in the world, as
Humboldt called it-for the Yumuri nestles right at your feet, a
vale of pure delight, a glimpse of Paradise that bewilders the eye
and fills the soul with ecstasy. See other titles by this author
