Two Boy Gold Miners; Or, Lost in the Mountains

Two Boy Gold Miners; Or, Lost in the Mountains

Frank V. Webster

Adventure, American Literature, Children & Young Adult Reading, Novels

1909. The Crosby brothers are leaving behind a dying farm and a drought-stricken Midwest for something that glitters. When old gold miner Gabe Harrison spins tales of fortune in the Western mountains, Jed and Will trade their plowshares for pickaxes and set off into the unknown. The brothers possess opposite dispositions - one cautious, one reckless - but together they face blinding snowstorms, treacherous mountain passes, and the constant question of whether they'll find gold or find themselves buried beneath it. This is frontier adventure at its most earnest: a story about boys who refuse to accept hard times as their destiny, who bet everything on a dream and discover what they're really made of in the process. For young readers who crave stories of courage, brotherhood, and the American frontier.
