Too late for the California gold rush, Frederick plans on making it to the Helena gold fields in time to make his fortune. The west feels foreign to him.
He beds down in a rocky area after a day of long, hot travel on his bay mare.
Frederick wakes to find his horse stolen and Helena still many miles away. A battle with the hostile land, for his life, lies ahead of him.
An impressive historical of Montana’s gold rush era, authentic feeling, yet imaginative.
