About This Book

Three brothers, Dick, Tom, and Sam, leave a houseboat on the Mississippi to make an inland horseback journey and are drawn into the mystery of a remote ranch. Along the way they encounter storms, hostile strangers, and puzzling bank bills, endure capture and narrow escapes, and face dramatic dangers such as a burning homestead and a snakes' den. With help from friends they pursue clues, confront the antagonist, and piece together the ranch's secrets. The episodic tale blends travel scenes, action set pieces, and detective elements, concluding with a roundup that settles the central mystery.
