Hard Gold
Hard Gold: The Colorado Gold Rush of 1859 | Avi
4 posts | 3 read
Early Whitcomb's family needs a miracle. Their Iowa farm has been in the family for generations, but a long drought has withered their savings and left them in debt. Meanwhile, the great Chicago and Northwestern Railroad wants their land, and if the Whitcombs can't pay their loans, the local banker, Judge Fuslin, will foreclose and sell the farm as his own.

I'm not very far on AVI. There is a lack of audio books for download which surprises me. I know they exist on tape and CD but I have no way to play those. #avichallenge

4⭐️ As always, Avi puts heart in the story that keeps your eyes or ears glued to the story. You are on that wagon train, your feet hurt, and you just want to save your family. He hides a history lesson inside a character driven story, where the setting and time are as important as the characters themselves. It could even be argued that the wagon train is a character. A well thought out book, a real life adventure, and a joy to read.
