About This Book

Two cousins newly arrived at their uncle’s rancho in California discover life there is full of action rather than boredom. Their days revolve around horsemanship, hunts and repeated confrontations with a marauding grizzly, leading to tense running fights that test their courage and marksmanship. Encounters with neighbors, companions, and occasional robbers produce rescues, bold dashes through difficult terrain, a dramatic bridge crossing and a nighttime race, each episode revealing practical resourcefulness and growing confidence. The narrative strings together episodic outdoor adventures and personal trials that culminate in a final resolution of the dangers that have driven the plot.
