About This Book

A trio of young men learn from a sick trapper that a lone white man at a remote northern cabin carried a buckskin sack of shining stones, and they mount an expedition into the frozen woods to locate the cabin and pursue the possible mineral find. The narrative follows their tracking and investigation amid severe winter weather, sparse settlements, and the threat of disease, blending outdoor adventure, prospecting suspense, and practical problem solving as they weigh the lure of wealth against risks to themselves and others.

Dr. Tomlinson's Books

The American boy will never tire of reading tales of the early colonial days and especially of the desperate encounters and struggles of the colonists with the natives of the forest.

Dr. Tomlinson has read widely and has collected a mass of incident through family tradition and otherwise, which he has skillfully incorporated in the historical frameworks of several exceedingly interesting and instructive stories. He has the knack of mixing history with adventure in such a way as to make his young readers absorb much information while entertaining them capitally. His historical tales are filled with an enthusiasm which it is well to foster in the heart of every healthy-minded and patriotic American boy.

The plots are all based upon events that actually occurred; and the boy heroes play the part of men in a way to capture the hearts of all boy readers. Dr. Tomlinson shows scrupulous regard for the larger truths of history, and the same care that would naturally go into a book for older readers.
