“13 year old Jaimie McPheeters and his physician father leave Kentucky for the California gold fields in 1849. This 1959 Pulitzer Prize winner is a wonderful tale, full of adventure, romance, comedy and tragedy. Young Jaimie tells this story in a Mark Twain "Huck Finn" type of narrative. It is rich in language, wonderful characters and realism.”
