Praiseworthy, Jack, Constance, Sarah, and Aunt Arebella had built a cabin by Jack and Praiseworthy’s favorite mining camp. It was indeed Hangtown. They had picked a spot next to a claim that was owned by Tricky Taylor. He agreed that women and children should be able to live at a mining camp. They liked it there in California. Every day, Jomoka Jack and Bullwhip mined for gold. There wasn’t much left but, they taught Constance and Sarah how to mine. Aunt Arebella loved listening to them and all the stories that Praiseworthy and Jack told. Each night, they would have ether steak(If Jack didn’t get chased by the bear), potatoes, beans and bread. Once a month, they would go out to dinner to a very nice and fancy restaurant. Sometimes if they were lucky, Tricky Taylor would bring them a care package to see how they were doing. In Boston, Jack used to go to school and he didn’t for almost a year! So, Aunt Arebella Started a school with all grades and made a lot of money doing that. Every day she would be a teacher to over 400 kids! That’s a lot! They had a happy life in California. And they will for the rest of their lives

In book two of The Great Horn Spoon I think that Praiseworthy, Jack, Constance, Sarah and Arabella strike rich panning for gold. Then Praiseworthy hears a rumor that they had caught Cut Eye Higgins. And he only had hours left to live. The ceremony was at twelve midnight and Praiseworthy and Jack planned to sneak out to see it. They headed towards the ceremony and rushed through the crowd. They saw Cut Eye Higgins standing there with a noose around his neck. Praiseworthy questioned himself and said "I was the reason he escaped last time and I am not going to let it happen again. So let's get on with it I don't want to see any more." Yes the crowd agreed. Yes said the stranger seen but not to be known. From then on, the crowd of people began chanting and chanting and swore they wouldn't stop until he was dangling by his neck. "This is not a good scene", said Jack looking up at Praiseworthy. They both headed out. They walked into a store with the crowd chanting louder than anyone has ever experienced. All of a sudden the crowd started to get quiet. Then Jack and Praiseworthy figured it was over and there was no going back now.

Jack and his family made a log cabin near the diggings. With all that money, they got from selling the cats they could buy a lot of food, protection like guns, and water which was very expensive. Jack loved the new life with Praiseworthy, Constance, Sarah, and Aunt Arabella. Praiseworthy had changed in some ways. He was first a butler and was very formal, then a little bit went away. Jack and Praiseworthy had given up mining and opened a cat shop. A lot of people had rat problems so they wanted cats to eat them. They found that their friend Dr. Buckbee was broke so they let him come in the job. One day while they were out looking for cats, someone on horseback stopped them. It was Cut Eye Higgins. Jack took out his gun and was ready. But Cut Eye Higgins did not have the bad look on his face. He was a good person! Praiseworthy had nothing to fear until Mountain Ox said he wanted a rematch in fisticuffs. Aunt Arabella was not happy but Praiseworthy convinced her. Mountain Ox knew Praiseworthy’s old tricks of dogging, but Praiseworthy was reading The Art of Boxing 2. He learned some new tricks and won the match! Jack was so happy!

A few months of mining gone by, Praiseworthy and Jack found another place where they hit bedrock. They become so rich that people are trying to rob them. One day, Praiseworthy and Jack forget to lock the door when they go out mining. Miss Arabella and Jack's two sisters are out shopping for food. When they get back to their house, they are surprised to be greeted by their old enemy, Cut Eye Higgins. Cut Eye Higgins says that everywhere he goes everybody hates him and he is threatened to be hanged. He asks if he can stay in their cabin undercover so the people of Hangtown don't catch him. A month later someone finally finds out that Cut Eye Higgins is in town and orders a search for him. They find him hiding in an abandoned house behind Gravediggers hill. So they attempt to hang Cut Eye Higgins. The problem is that Cut Eye Higgins says he won't go down with out a fight. They order Hangtown's best fighter to face Cut Eye Higgins. They thought about Mountain Ox but they remembered that he had got beaten by someone, Bullwhip.
Praiseworthy and jack built a cabin near the river for the family. The girls were planning to create a garden. Aunt Arabella wanted to have child. So she waited and waited and prayed and prayed but still she had no baby. During this time Jack and his sister’s played down by the river. Soon Constance and Sarah had learned to pan for gold. Although the river didn’t have much gold.
ReplyDeleteOne day there was a horrible hurricane roaring outdoors, it pouring. Aunt Arabella, Constance and Sarah were knitting scarves for every one. Jack and praiseworthy were keeping the fire alive. Jack had gone out to fetch some wood and spotted a huge tornado coming their way. Jack quickly ran inside to warn his family. When they were told everyone packed up their most precious belongings. They were about to walk out the front door but it burst to pieces. So they went through the back door as the tornado trailed closely behind them.
A few days later after being chased by the tornado everyone was sleeping. By noon everyone woke up. Aunt Arabella did have a baby boy named Praiseworthy just like his father. And they lived as a happy family together.

This book is called The Great Horn Spoon too. This book is about Praiseworthy, jack, Mrs.Arabella, Constance, and Sarah go to the diggings and build a cabin for women, children, and men. They also made the diggings a place for women and children. While digging they struck it rich ten times more than the last. Their family is rich now! Now there house is the finest house in the diggings. Later in the book they go back to Boston to see relatives. It was a shorter distance for when they came to San Francisco because they took the Panama Canal.
ReplyDeleteWhen they got there they delivered the news and the relatives decided to sell their house and go to California with Praiseworthy, Mrs. Arabella, Jack, Constance, and Sarah. When they got there they used the new money to build another few more cabins. Then everybody at the mines was digging. Back then it was really hard to get a stake.
Then, they went to San Francisco to see what has changed after a few years. They were astonished San Francisco had built a bridge in ten years called The Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco had changed a lot in the last few years now it was beautiful. Then they went back to the diggings and lived a happy life.

On the trip they travel by ship, but on there way they run into a terrible storm that causes them to go off course, and they end up in Mexico. It was late at night once they got there and they had to hurry to help Sarah.
ReplyDeleteWhen they were sleeping Jack noticed that there was a plant that he had never seen before so they asked a person in town to tell them if it was a rare plant, and the plant was rare, and it was called a "Neches River Rose.” Now Jack, Praiseworthy, Constance, and Aunt Arabella need to know that Sarah is O.K, so they send someone back to California to take care of her.

Since Aunt Arabella and the others came out, when Jack and Praiseworthy went to the diggings miners from all over stared as they walked by. They asked lots of questions like, when every body came, what ship, where they came from, what were they doing in the diggings, and what were the new people’s names. Jack liked all the attention. Eventually Jack & Praiseworthy had enough gold to buy wood and build a cabin. They spent a lot of time and work on it. They made the cabin with two rooms one was just like a bedroom, but quite large, and the other was to store gold. It really was a nice cabin, it was even just a few minutes from the diggings!
ReplyDeleteWhile Praiseworthy and jack were at the diggings, Aunt Arabella, Sarah, and Constance all did work around the cabin. Sometimes they even added new things with the gold they had stored! Praiseworthy and Jack even bought Stub back! The cabin soon had cupboards that stored the leftover food, so they didn’t just have to keep buying. Soon everyone got used to the cabin, and some times after a day’s work they even had visitors! From here a new adventure begins!

Praiseworthy and Jack had just finished building their new lodge for Aunt Areabella, Constance, Sarah and for themselves. It was a hot summer day, everyone was bathing by the creek, and all the gold in the river was swept away by the miners like the wind. Tomorrow, they would settle in their new home in California. It really was the sweetest life a man could want. The perfect temperature and the perfect place. ‘It was so peaceful here.’ thought Praiseworthy as he lay in grass. But it was hard these days because the family that Praiseworthy raised just didn’t have enough money.
ReplyDeletePraiseworthy had to find a job and soon or else his family would starve. So one day, Praiseworthy was just walking around Hang Town and then he saw a sign, it said: Railroad workers for the new Central Pacific railroad! Now Hiring! ‘This was the best job to have.’ Thought Praiseworthy. So he ran home to tell Aunt Areabella and Jack.
When Praiseworthy came home 2 things happened, one he was out of breath and two when he told his story about his job and everyone gasped. But they all approved, it would be a great job for Praiseworthy.

The rollicking adventures of Jack and Praiseworthy continue in "By the Great Horn Spoon Two!". The wedding of Praiseworthy and Arabella in San Francisco was a beautiful beginning of this family's new joint ventures in the Gold Rush Days. As might be expected, Praiseworthy studied the law books and became a well-known lawyer for the miners in Hangtown. His reputation as "Bullwhip" brought him such notoriety that his practice boomed like a gold mine. Arabella and Jack opened a fine hotel where the family lived together. Sarah an Constance assisted in making it a top-notch place. Many interesting guests and fascinating stories follow this family in the sequel, "By the Great Horn Spoon Two!" It's a great follow-up book. Read it!

In the great horn spoon (2) praiseworthy builds a house by the diggings and the family lives together again. They find a big thief named cut eye Higgins. He was a cutpurse. They found him and had a big fisticuff with him and praiseworthy won. Praiseworthy made a jail for him to live in for ever and ever. Aunt Arbela was disappointed that he did not throw away the book of how to fight. Aunt Arbela put a complete stop to the coffee drinking and was called no coffee for Jack. Praiseworthy got a new name of thief trapper. They strike it rich and are the first to have a mansion. They become the richest people ever in town. Everybody knew them because of how rich and wise they are. Everybody asked for advice from them. They also created a Frisbee that flew two hundred feet far and liked it forever. Praiseworthy became the best boxer in history. They all felt perfect. They all were fine. They usually stayed in their mansion, but sometimes they ended up traveling very far distance every once in a while. This was because of the train. They all thought it was the best idea ever.
ReplyDeleteJack, Praiseworthy, Constants, Sarah and aunt Arabella took their two cats and went to the diggings. There they built a cabin with a fence around it. The cats ventured up trees and onto the roof tops and even across the river. Jack and Praiseworthy went mining for gold every day. Many miners challenged Praiseworthy. None beat him.
ReplyDeletePeople started farming and making a lot of money so, the family started farming. They also started a granary like Jon Sutter’s granary. They made lots of money and got lots of cats and kittens to auction off. They always kept four cats or kittens. They fished in the river every day to feed themselves and the cats. The cats fished for themselves sometimes and they also ate the rats that tried to eat their food. The cats roamed around town a lot they also liked to steel fish from the auctioneer mostly tuna. One day Jack’s cat coughed up a lot of rat that ate some color or gold dust. The gold dust was worth forty dollars. Jack bought a riffle with the money. The cat got fed extra the next few nights.
Jack and Praise worthy started using a cradle to mine for gold because they thought it was easier to mine with a cradle . One time they accidentally left their cradle in the river and the next day there was a big nugget in the cradle.
