| Summary | "Treasure and Trouble Therewith: A Tale of California" by Geraldine Bonner is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the California Gold Rush era, it explores themes of greed, ambition, and the struggles faced by individuals seeking wealth and redemption. The narrative opens with Danny Leonard, a messenger for Wells Fargo, who is transporting a substantial amount of gold through the perilous roads of California, foreshadowing the trouble that lies ahead. The opening of the tale introduces readers to a tense scenario where Leonard and stage driver Jim Bailey experience an unexpected holdup by notorious bandits Knapp and Garland. The detailed description of the arid yet vivid California landscape sets the scene as they are ambushed while traversing a secluded road. As the assailants execute their plan, the gravity of Leonard's predicament becomes apparent when he is shot during the encounter. With the stage coach arriving in chaos at a nearby town, the incident marks the beginning of a chain of events that unravels a larger narrative intertwining crime and the pursuit of dreams in the unforgiving terrain of California.
