About This Book

A young man travels to the Puget Sound country and endures the rigors of bush ranch life, learning felling, hauling, and the daily labor of clearing land while adapting to isolation and hard physical work. Strange sightings of a schooner and furtive visitors introduce a thread of illicit activity and danger that prompts surveillance, a tense night expedition, and the discovery of a derelict. Tests of endurance, resourcefulness, and cooperative effort culminate in a dramatic raid and relief of the ranch, after which the protagonist secures his place and becomes a ranch owner.
