But there was something Danny valued more than all the rest. It was just a short letter of congratulations. But he took it away and read it all by himself in the garden, and did not show it to anybody else for quite a long time.
It was from the Chief Scout.

A sequel to The Quest of the Golden Valley, this time taking the chums through the vicissitudes of an Alaskan winter.
They travel over snow-covered mountain ranges and frost-bound plateaus to the rolling caribou mountains of the unknown interior. In their wanderings they experience many strange adventures, and overcome the numerous hardships that are familiar to the men of the Northern wilderness. They trap the many fur-bearing animals, hunt the big game, camp with the Indians, do dog-driving, snowshoeing, etc. With the coming of spring they descend one of the wilderness rivers on a raft and at the eleventh hour, after being wrecked in a dangerous canyon, they discover a fabulous quartz lode, and succeed in reaching the sea coast.
