"I hope so."
"I have a great mind to ask father to let me go with you," said Sinclair unexpectedly.
"You wouldn't like it. You haven't been brought up to work," said Tom, rather startled, and not much pleased with the proposal, for Sinclair Hudson was about the last boy he wished as a companion.
"Oh, I wouldn't go to work. I would go as a gentleman, to see the country. Wait a minute; I will run in and ask him."

Really good!
You always hear this cliche about pulling oneself up by ones bootstraps like in a Horatio Alger story, but did you ever read one? Now I have.
Young Tom's family is ensnared by their greedy landlord in a brutal mortgage. He heads west to join the California gold rush in hopes of liberating his family
As Thomas Nelson makes his way to California during the "Gold rush" he faces lesson on how to conduct one self on the independent journey. In the process he meets vagabonds, adventurers, gentlemen and foriegners alike.

This is an amazing story. Sort of a sudden ending, but still good. The Young Adventurer is intended for youth to read. The moral of the story is: if your do the right thing everything will work out for you.
