About This Book

The story follows Fred Stanley, a resourceful boy whose family falls into need after his father is injured; he leaves home to seek work at new mining diggings and ultimately journeys to Alaska in pursuit of rumored buried treasure. He confronts severe wilderness conditions—cold, snow, wolves, and a moose—loses a crucial map, explores a cave, and digs for the hidden hoard while being watched and pursued by enemies. Episodes of capture, threats, and hardship create tense obstacles before a final rescue brings the search to its conclusion.
