About This Book

A trio of young men learn from a sick trapper that a lone white man at a remote northern cabin carried a buckskin sack of shining stones, and they mount an expedition into the frozen woods to locate the cabin and pursue the possible mineral find. The narrative follows their tracking and investigation amid severe winter weather, sparse settlements, and the threat of disease, blending outdoor adventure, prospecting suspense, and practical problem solving as they weigh the lure of wealth against risks to themselves and others.
