He lands in San Francisco, vowing to go where the day-or the sea-takes him. He has a go at cooking, rides a whaling ship, prospects for gold, runs a schoolhouse, and tries his hand at politicking. All throughout this tale of his, though, Prentice Mulford shows what he truly is: a gifted storyteller. Rich with humor and nuance, this tour of his life takes you away with all the enthusiasm of a boy who ships to sea with the merchant marines, searching for his destiny. American author PRENTICE MULFORD (1834-1891) is one of the oddest fixtures of 19th-century literature. After moving for years in the literary and Bohemian sets of San Francisco in the 1860s as a writer of humorous short stories, he lived as a hermit in New Jersey, where he wrote the books of modern spirituality that made him a pioneer of modern self-help philosophies, including Thoughts Are Things and The God in You.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prentice Mulford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602061688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602061682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.57d","brand":"Prentice Mulford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611782594815,"sku":"9781602061682","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95fac383-22fb-4271-8707-6ba75fe48bfe.jpg?v=1764516046","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prentice-mulfords-story-prentice-mulford-9781602061682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
