About This Book

A youth named Fred Fenton and his schoolmates pursue cross-country and track competitions while a family struggle over an Alaska mining claim runs in the background. Athletic training and contests are interwoven with the search for a missing witness and the machinations of a powerful syndicate, producing episodes of rescues, ambushes, accidents, and unexpected allies. The narrative moves through local mysteries such as a haunted mill and a covered wagon, tests of loyalty and courage among friends, and culminates in a decisive athletic meet that coincides with significant developments in the disputed claim.
