About This Book

The narrative follows Tom, Uncle Ezra, and the roving trapper Elam Storm as they travel between ranchlands, river steamers, and mountain camps in search of pelts and a fabled nugget. Encounters include gambling on board, clashes with rustlers and hostile groups, periods of being lost in rough country, and small-scale frontier justice and resourcefulness. Episodes depict sheep-herding life, cowboy culture, and the lure of prospecting; a focused expedition eventually recovers the lost nugget and resolves the principal dangers encountered on the journey.
