About This Book
The gold rush took 14-year-old Clem's father off to California, and when Clem's mother and sister die from Scarlet Fever, he is left alone on the wild-west frontier. Clem tries everything from working in a saloon to riding for the Pony Express, as he finds that the only things he has to hold on to are the past and the chances he's given along the way.About the Authors or Illustrators
