tuckets home
Francis Tucket, Lottie and Billy have survived extraordinary,
hair-raising adventures in their quest to find Francis's family, lost
when he was kidnapped from a wagon train on the Oregon Trail. Now they
meet up with a British explorer, bloodthirsty soldiers, and in a tragic,
heroic encounter, with Jason Grimes, the mountain man. Their way is
made more treacherous still by the secret they carry, the ancient gold
they discovered in a Spanish grave. In this final adventure they head
home at last, and an epilogue tells what happens to them on the Oregon
frontier.
