About This Book

A family journey west brings two young siblings and their small dog to their uncle's cattle ranch, where they adjust to ranch life and learn to ride sturdy ponies. The children join in cowboy games and chores, confront a sick pony and a surprised doctor, and face thrills such as a bucking bronco and lassoing. A search for missing cattle sends them into the hills, leads to encounters with local people, episodes of being alone and lost, and the eventual discovery of a hidden valley before they return to the ranch.
