The rip-roaring spirit of the California Gold Rush….. but I remember the race around the 'Horn' best. Well worth reading!
The year is 1849. Young Jack Flagg sets out to recoup his Aunt Arabella's fortune on a ship bound from Boston to the California gold fields. Thus begin the wild, swashbuckling adventures of a determined 12-year-old and his intrepid butler.
