The Golden Butterfly (1876) is a novel by Walter Besant and James Rice, marking the zenith of their collaborative powers. It captures the spirit of adventure that defined the mythology of the American West, and is an epic and entertaining tale for all audiences.

Gilead P. Beck is a thin man, about five and forty years of age, with an irregular and patchy beard that flourishes on certain square half-inches of chin and cheek. He has no boots, but a sort of moccasins that enable him to show his heels to the bear for so long a time.

Just 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.

This edition of Walter Besant and James Rices The Golden Butterfly is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers. It features a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, making it a must-have for fans of classic literature.
