About This Book

Two young friends press into the western frontier, braving storms and rough terrain while unraveling mysteries and facing violence. They find a wounded man who has been scalped, tend him, and pursue clues that lead to hidden treasure, tree-top camps, and a cave frequented by fortune hunters. Along the way they hear a Quaker's tale, help a Delaware band, endure captures and rescues, and track missing companions in forested country. The narrative blends episodic adventure and survival detail with themes of friendship, vigilance, and the fraught encounters between settlers and indigenous peoples.
