A fun, wholesome Gold Rush adventure book! Originally published in 1960s, this book is a hidden gem! My kids and I both enjoyed this one so much! Great character building lessons & historical references were solidly on point! Anyone else read it?

Another blast from the past on mom & dad's shelves: this well loved classic. I think this edition is from the 60s. The illustrations are 👌🏼! My brothers and I must have read this gold rush adventure tale 100s of times
