About this product
Product Information
Moose John strides daydreaming through the first pages in this collection of mining tales, followed by Wilfred Winchester Wilkensfield III, who discovers an unexpected prehistoric hazard while mining for gold in permafrost. The Olgilvie Gold Fibulator creates bonanzas for miners and Shakespearean actors alike, Double-Dose Dobson demonstrates that he can teach his sons a thing or two even from the grave, and an implacable little lady has a showdown with a gigantic dredge. Davis, a miner and geophysicist, takes his lifetime of experience in mining and the North and spins a few lively yarns around the workings of the sluicebox and the human heart.

Reviews
"I just think he's terrific and I don't care about fishing... I just really liked his writing style and how descriptive he was. I felt like I was there with him." --Jim Moore, Sports Columnist, Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Andrew is a marvelous yarn-spinner, a throwback to all of the great outdoors columnists I read in Outdoor Life growing up... Using marvelous storytelling skills, a flair for vivid description and a hint of humor, Andrew writes a column that leaves me wanting more when he's done." --Devlyn Brooks, Editor, The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, " Caught in the Sluice [is] a collection of entertaining stories about Alaska characters... usually their hearts are in the right place--except when blackened by greed and treachery...The author's style reflects his sense of how these tales would be told by literate miners. He does not overdo the folksy touch, nor strain for vintage slang, yet still manages to convey a sense of a particular time, place and occupation." --Bill Hunt, Alaska magazine "Most of the stories have the feel of a tall tale, but not all of them. Davis includes many authentic details about the old mining methods--sluice operations, milling quartz, the operation of the big dredges and the use of hydraulic giants." --Debbie Carter, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

The Bible that I purchased was so dirty and it also had someone’s name on the cover and gold. The Bible was not worth the money.
