About This Book

A group of teenage friends set out in a newly acquired touring automobile to travel west and escort an old miner who claims to know a lost gold mine. Their overland voyage becomes a series of episodic adventures: races, hold-ups and pursuits, mechanical failures and a car fire, confrontations with rustlers and hostile parties, a treacherous mountain descent and a wreck, and a siege at the discovered mine. The narrative follows their efforts to reach the claim, defend it against rivals, and escape with treasure and safety.
