• Two of American author Emerson Hough's westerns are in this Kindle eBook: The Covered Wagon & The Mississippi Bubble
The Covered Wagon
This adventure tale involves a love triangle and a wagon train headed west before the California Gold Rush. Along the route, there are Indian fights and buffalo hunts.
The Mississippi Bubble
In 1719-20, France faced two problems: government debt and a credit crunch. John Law, a Scottish man, suggested issuing paper money not connected to precious metals to sell shares in a government enterprise. The goal was to exploit the riches of the Louisiana Territory. The result was the Mississippi Bubble.
