Greed and Mayhem on California's inland rivers,
By
This review is from: The Benicia Belle (Paperback)
One of the golden opportunities for a go-getter in the West at the time of California's new statehood, was on the waters from San Francisco into the wide-open interior of the new territory. Big money and greed impel the lawless interests of powerful men in cutthroat competition for big business and big profits on the inland trade. John Clinton Ryan signs on as master-at-arms on the Benicia Belle; blackmailed by the Belle's owner and drawn to a woman as beautiful as the sea he left behind, he is taking one last chance to avenge his past as he embarks on the perilous waters from San Francisco. A suspense filled adventure that takes place in a new environment of the beautiful and dangerous steamboats trade that few modern descendants of the Old western pioneers know about. As an Easterner, I had never read about about any of this riverine rivalry in the West. It is an intriguing and action filled story
