About This Book

Two young cousins accompanying an exploring party winter with an expedition on a northern river and venture into a mysterious region of geothermal marvels. They witness geysers, steaming paint pots, and dramatic valleys while facing natural hazards such as landslides and snow avalanches. Encounters with hostile warriors lead to capture, captivity, and a daring escape aided by unexpected animal allies. Hunting, tracking buffalo, cave battles, and shifting tribal alliances shape their trials, and the narrative closes with the boys rejoining their camp on the great western waters after a hard-earned victory.
