A good story pleasantly read

Agree with previous reviewer on both counts. This is a very good story. Very pleasant throughout - different from the usual mining story genre, which, more often than not, is gloomy and dismal. The reader has a soft and pleasant voice, and read well. I particularly enjoyed hearing the Cornish miner accents - the reader made it quite realistic, and very entertaining!

@ListeninginChicago, I'm so glad you enjoyed this book; I did too! I've been tracking down other Great Lakes fiction books, so keep an eye open for the Samuel Merwin books--The Merry Anne and Calumet K, which are both set in Chicago and Michigan,
Just a bit too stereotypical for me!

The hero's are brave and wonderful, the villains are villains to the core and cowards at heart, anyone who is not American or English is a little lower on the level of intelligence. I love the reader but in truth I found the story a little tiring.
Fun adventure for young boys (and girls)

This was a fun adventure - with an admirable hero and plenty of excitement, plus a chance to learn about mining in the late 1800's. Betsie Bush does an excellent job reading this solo project for Librivox.
wonderful story full of adventure

this book inspired me to want to get out and seek fortune and honor in some exciting new land. I picked a random book to listen to at work and was not disappointed with the result
