Description
Gold! A rich gold field has been found at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, deep in Blackfeet country! It is the summer of 1863 and young Henry Wilson and his uncle travel from St. Joseph, Missouri to strike it rich. With the help Beaver Bill, an experienced Indian trader, the small party convinces a Piegan chieftain to trade them horses and supplies to make the long cross-country trek to Alder Gulch. Gold mining turns out to be more dangerous than any of them thought. The mining camps are filled with desperadoes who are willing to steal, rob and even murder to get their hands on the precious gold dust. Will young Henry's luck hold out, against the rigors of mining and the dangers of the gangs that look to take away what his small group has worked so hard to gain?
James Willard Schultz (1859 - 1947) knew the Montana frontier well. Arriving at Fort Benton in Blackfeet territory in 1877, he married his beautiful Blackfeet wife, Natahki, and spent decades as a trader, rancher and hunting guide in what is now western Montana. He also spent his later life writing 47 books, many of them novels about his friends, the Blackfeet Indians, and other adventures of the Montana territory. Alder Gulch Gold, originally published in 1931, has long been out of print. This new electronic edition, with a detailed, original introduction by Bryan R. Johnson, makes this fascinating tale of adventure available once more to the public.
