About This Book

Bert and his companions journey into the Rocky Mountains and find frontier ranch life that blends horsemanship, fishing and outdoor skill with sudden danger. A violent train encounter introduces a pattern of peril that continues with bronco busting, forest terrors, a grizzly and a wolf pack, and an outbreak of hostilities that forces tracking and armed pursuit. Episodes test resourcefulness, marksmanship, and loyalty as the group trails outlaws and survives narrow escapes, culminating in a desperate flight for their lives that emphasizes courage and self-reliance amid wilderness hazards.
