Description

Sample

There are mountains and deserts to be crossed, plenty of rousing campfire songs (sheet music included!), and even Indians along the way.

But life in the crowded tent city of prospectors is harder than they anticipated. Soon, with little gold to be found, the Davises decide to leave. With the help of a good friend, the family discovers that happiness can be found anywhere there is room for dreams to come true.

Profusely illustrated by Grace Paull.
