Sometimes wading through Beebe's florid, 19th century-style prose is good for a laugh or two. In his "Steamcars to the Comstock" he describes "Nabobs" and "Carbonate Kings" "getting all pranked out" and riding "haily-gaily" to Sandy Bowers' Mansion for a part-tee. Whoa, Lucius, lay off the absinthe-laudanum cocktails, huh?
