What Did Folks Earn in 1880?

Ten Left on Amazon!
If anyone still wants a San Francisco Smugglers book with the original cover, I just happened to stumble on it through my Amazon Central Author page.

With that in mind, I allowed those who missed that question (and got everything else right) a chance to win. I try to be as fair as possible!
