This wonderfully researched, historical yet humorous story proves that anyone can succeed if they work hard enough. Written in 18th century writing style, Golden Hill features a main character, Mr. Smith, who mysteriously arrives in 1750s New York City with a bank note for a large sum of money he needs cashed. While waiting, he encounters romance, murder, prison, and many fascinating, entertaining characters! Like a runaway train flying down a mountain top, this story gains speed and intensity as it rolls along, and winds up with a magnificent surprise ending!
