The Golden Butterfly (1876) is a novel by Walter Besant and James
Rice. Their fifth novel perhaps marks the zenith of their
collaborative powers, capturing the spirit of adventure that
defined the mythology of the American West. Epic and entertaining,
The Golden Butterfly is a captivating tale for all audiences. “He
was a thin man, about five and forty years of age; he wore an
irregular and patchy kind of beard, which flourished exceedingly on
certain square half-inches of chin and cheek, and was as thin as
grass at Aden on the intervening spaces. He had no boots; but a
sort of moccasins, the lightness of which enabled him to show his
heels to the bear for so long a time.” Gilead P. Beck is a
fortunate man. Only moments away from losing his life to a
voracious grizzly bear, a company of English prospectors happens to
spot him running through the brush. With two shots, they drop the
beast, rescuing Gilead and earning his undying gratitude. Together,
they continue toward the newly established Empire City, where
fortune or failure awaits every man at the edge of the American
West. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Walter Besant and James Rice’s The
Golden Butterfly is a classic of English literature reimagined for
modern readers.
