Bob Burton; Or, The Young Ranchman of the Missouri
1888
In 1888 Missouri, young ranchman Bob Burton faces a villainous moneylender who may have caused his father's death. When Richard Burton sets off to pay the interest on their ranch's mortgage, he never returns found dying by the roadside with the dreaded Aaron Wolverton seen rifling through his pockets. Now Bob and his companion Clip must fight to save their home and clear their family's name, uncovering a web of deceit and hidden revenge that stretches back to Wolverton's old grudge against the Burtons. It's a classic Alger tale of youthful determination against entrenched corruption, where virtue and persistence become the weapons of the innocent against a unscrupulous antagonist. The book endures for its snapshot of frontier life and its abiding faith that courage and integrity can overcome the darkest schemes. Perfect for readers who enjoy historical adventure stories and tales of young heroes proving themselves against impossible odds.
