Author Description

Wunpost was the nickname bestowed on John C. Calhoun, who, though he came from a good old southern family and had the profile of a bronzed Greek god, was so illiterate that, when he found a goldmine and wanted to call it "One Post," he spelled it wrong, and it became forever "Wunpost." Though Calhoun actually discovered three mines, he was cheated out of two of them by old Judson Eells, his lawyer-friend Lapham who knew how to draw up a contract of the most deceptive kind, and Eells's hired killer Lynch. John C. Calhoun wasn't book smart, and he'd be the first to admit it.
