In the Rocky Mountains: A Tale of Adventure
1878
The Rocky Mountains rise like ancient teeth against the western sky, and at the edge of this untamed wilderness, Uncle Jeff has built his farm on the banks of Roaring Water. Here live young Ralph and his sister Clarice, pulled from comfortable civilization into a world of log cabins, diverse frontier workers, and neighbors both friendly and dangerous. When Lieutenant Broadstreet arrives with news of trouble brewing beyond the mountains, and young Ralph encounters the striking Native American named Winnemak, the quiet farm life shatters into something far more perilous. As external threats close in from this lawless land, Ralph must find a courage he never knew he possessed, while the bonds of family and friendship are tested against the brutal realities of the American frontier. Kingston writes with the breathless energy of a storyteller who knows exactly what boys and girls dream about: dangerous passes, midnight rides, and the question of whether trust can bridge the divide between cultures. This is adventure fiction in its purest form, where the wilderness is both enemy and teacher, and survival demands both wit and heart.
