YA-- Forrest Bates and Olivia Palmer have made a promising strike in the 19th-century gold fields of Colorado. However, the situation takes a dramatic turn when hired hand Roy Shannon tries to jump their claim, killing Bates in the process. Bates's nephew comes to rescue Palmer and the mine from Shannon and his cohorts. The story develops smoothly around the clear protagonists vs. the antagonist. Palmer's kidnapping by Indians introduces an interesting and pivotal subplot that enables her to emerge as the lead character. Her physical and emotional strength under stress show her ``grit.'' An unusual twist to the traditional boy-gets-girl ending concludes this well-crafted tale.
