After their mother dies, Billy and Edna Rose set out on the gold rush trail in search of their father. Heavy on adventure and light on the hardships of traveling on foot through the wilderness and digging bottomless holes looking for gold, the story unfolds like a Horatio Alger tale where good, hard-working people always come out on top.
