About This Book
A young man must prove himself to his wealthy father and settle a large debt by winning his way in a northern prospecting boom. He travels by rail toward a frontier settlement, confronts the hardships and comic collisions of travel, and becomes entangled with a spirited woman and local personalities who pursue schemes and rivalry. The narrative tracks their attempts to stake claims during a gold rush, the unfolding of betrayals and rescues, and a final reckoning that resolves fortunes and relationships.
