About this book
A grizzly's raid on the pig pen sends Phil and Joe tumbling out of bed into a dangerous night on their family's Colorado ranch. Big Reuben has troubled the neighbourhood for years, and the attempt to confront him soon becomes a scramble for shelter in the kitchen. Sidford F. Hamp gives this opening of his juvenile western both urgency and comedy, with a broken window and an unexpected plunge into the washing tub.
Ranch work supplies another kind of challenge. The boys plow for oats and keep daily measurements of an underground stream, looking for clues to its source as snow melts on the mountains. Passing freight traffic, changing roads and nearby silver camps place their efforts within a wider working community. Hamp's preface draws on his own experience of ranching, prospecting and mining.
