About this book

After losing his cattle and savings in New Mexico, Dr Lascelles turns to his knowledge of geology for a fresh start. He plans to search the mountains for valuable metals, accompanied by his daughter Maude, young Bart and the men who worked on his ranch. Around the campfire, Joses voices the party’s fears about continuing into dangerous country, then makes clear that he will remain with the doctor.

George Manville Fenn’s frontier novel for young readers joins the search for silver to the practical work of keeping a camp secure. Bart proposes a protected ledge above the horses, and the party builds walls, moves the cattle enclosure and channels spring water down the mountain. These details give the adventure a strong interest in construction and resourcefulness.
