About This Book
A group of young friends travel west to spend the summer at a relative's ranch, arriving in a rickety automobile and settling into ranch life. Their outdoor holiday turns adventurous as storms, horseback rides, and a visit to a reputedly haunted miner's cabin test their courage. The party encounters rustlers and outlaws, experiences robbery, pursuit, capture, and confinement, and must investigate clues, mount rescues, and face natural hazards such as a landslide. The girls take active roles in discovery and escape, cooperating with local helpers to foil criminal plans. The narrative concludes with the criminals defeated, rewards earned, and the friends preparing to depart.
