Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - It was 1850, and Johnny James, an orphan on the streets of Boston, decided to go to the goldfields of California and leave the desperation of the slums behind. He'd heard the stories told in the saloons of Boston about the forty-niners who'd gone there and struck it rich and determined he could as well.Along the way, Johnny picked up Jasper, another orphan, to go with him. Jasper brought his best friend, Billy, whose father was a drunk and didn't want him, along with them. It was Joshua, who tried to steal some of their food late one night, and because he was hungry and desperate, a runaway from his own home, the three boys fed him.

Bearcat Bob traded coffee and a few pots and pans to get him back and threw a small feast for the five Cheyenne scouts who'd taken Jasper for just that purpose. Bearcat Bob knew the sign language of the Plains Indians and was already friends with many of the tribes, to the welfare of the travelers who had trusted their care to him.After reaching the Willamette Valley in the Oregon Territory, the four boys struck out south for the Sacramento Valley, where gold had been found at Sutter's Mill. They had no idea what they were getting into.…
