A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter XVII
A lumbering town after the drive is a fearful thing. Men just off the river draw a deep breath, and plunge into the wildest reactionary dissipation. In droves they invade the cities,--wild, picturesque, lawless. As long as the money lasts, they blow it in. “Hot money!” is the cry.
