First Page:

In the Rocky Mountains, by W H G Kingston.

This is a very nicely written little book. It is easy to read or listen to, yet is full of real sounding dangerous situations from which the young heroes escape with difficulty.

The hero and his sister, Ralph and Clarice, are from a farming family in the middle states of America. The father, unwillingly followed by the mother, decide to move to the west, but unfortunately first the mother, and then the father, dies, and the two young people are left without an adult to guide and lead them. Luckily, at that moment, a wagon train comes by, and the children hail it. The man in charge of the wagon train realises he is actually the uncle of these children, and agrees to take them with him, becoming their greatly beloved Uncle Jeff.

Much of the rest of the book is taken up with various confrontations with Indians, with wolves and a bear or two thrown in for good measure.

You will enjoy reading this book, and it certainly converts well to an audiobook so that you can listen to it.
