"The Pike's Peak Rush; Or, Terry in the New Gold Fields" by Edwin L. Sabin is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the 1859 gold rush to the Pike's Peak region, the story follows the adventurous young protagonist, Terry Richards, his friend Harry Revere, and their humorous yet challenging quest to seek their fortunes in the Colorado gold fields. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Terry and his family at their Kansas ranch, igniting the excitement of the gold rush as news spreads about thousands of people heading to the mountains in search of riches. Terry, eager to join the rush before all the gold is claimed, persuades his father to let him venture into the unknown with Harry. As they prepare for their journey with their makeshift cart, pulled by a half-buffalo named Duke and a yellow mule named Jenny, the boys set off on an adventure filled with humor and hardships, sharing hopes and aspirations of finding their own gold mine. The narrative highlights their youthful exuberance and resilience as they navigate obstacles and uncertainties in the pursuit of their dreams. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
