The Long Chance is a novel by Peter B. Kyne that tells the story of a man named John Cardigan, who is the owner of a lumber company in Northern California. The novel is set in the early 20th century and follows Cardigan's struggles to keep his business afloat amidst the challenges of the time.Cardigan is faced with a number of obstacles, including the Great Depression, labor strikes, and the changing landscape of the lumber industry. Despite these challenges, he is determined to succeed and is willing to take risks to keep his company going.The novel is also a love story, as Cardigan falls in love with a young woman named Shirley Sumner. Their relationship is complicated by the fact that Sumner is the daughter of one of Cardigan's business rivals, and their families are at odds.Throughout the novel, Cardigan must navigate the challenges of his business and his personal life, all while trying to maintain his integrity and do what is right. The Long Chance is a gripping tale of perseverance, love, and the American spirit.In addition there was the evidence of the automatic pistol! Few men in that country carried automatics, for an automatic was a weapon too new in those days to be popular, and the residents of the Mojave still clung to tradition and a Colt's.45. The bandit had shown himself peculiarly expert in the use of his weapon, having shot the pipe out of the messenger's mouth, merely to impress that unimpressionable functionary. It would have been like Bob McGraw, who carried an automatic and was a dead shot, to show off a little!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
