Hard gold by 7007788|Avi book cover

πŸ“˜ Hard gold
 by Avi

Early's uncle (though he's more like a brother), Jesse, thinks he has the solution: to head West and dig for gold. Fueled by reports of prospectors striking it rich in the Rocky Mountains, Jesse can't think about anything but gold, and his determination to get to the western territories grows stronger by the day. Early is wild to go with him, as much for the adventure as for the gold. But the journey costs money--more than the boys can afford--and when Jesse flees during the night, after being accused of a robbery, Early doesn't know what to believe. Then Jesse sends an electrifying message--that he has found gold, but his life is in danger--and Early knows he must do whatever it takes to find him, even if it means running away and joining a wagon train with a strange family. The journey is dangerous and full of hardships, and the closer the travelers get to their destination, the more ruined lives they encounter--lives consumed by the hunt for gold. Then to his horror, Early learns that Jesse has been accused of another, much bigger crime and has fled to a secret place in the mountains. Somehow, Early must get to him without leading Jesse's pursuers right to his door. And even if he succeeds, Early will still have to make the hardest choice of his life.

A Little House Sampler by 6289344|Laura Ingalls Wilder book cover

πŸ“˜ A Little House Sampler

Laura Ingalls Wilder, whose series of Little House books has charmed millions of readers, was first encouraged to write about her early days on the frontier by her daughter, Rose, who herself wrote about growing up on the family farm. The autobiographical pieces that resulted for publication in magazines and newspapers are gathered together here for the first time, happily reminding us of the kind-hearted, strong-minded Laura, whose high-spirited courage and resilience marked her as a true pioneer and role model. From the log cabins, covered wagons, and hard-working farm life that Laura fondly recalls in fascinating detail to the world travels of her independent daughter, Rose, whose writing career spanned the 1920s to the 1960s, *A Little House Sampler* is a vivid and personal testament to almost one hundred years of American life and history as seen by two remarkable women.

πŸ“˜ Boston Jane

1855: The unknown wilds of the Pacific Northwest--a land not yet tamed, and certainly not fitting for a proper young lady! Yet that's just where Miss Jane Peck finds herself. After a tumultuous childhood on the wrong side of Philadelphia high society, Jane is trying to put aside her reckless ways and be accepted as a proper young lady. And so when handsome William Baldt proposes, she joyfully accepts and prepares to join him in a world away from her home in Washington Territory. But Miss Hepplewhite's straitlaced finishing school was hardly preparation for the treacherous months at sea it takes to get there, the haunting loss she'll face on the way, or the colorful characters and crude life that await her on the frontier. From the Trade Paperback edition.
