Tucket's Travels Francis Tucket's Adventures in the West, 1847-1849, Book 1-5

Fourteen-year-old Francis is heading west in a wagon train on the Oregon Trail when he is kidnapped by Pawnees. His adventures during the two years he spends searching for his family teach him how to live by the harsh code of the wilderness-and give readers an exciting panoramic vision of the West at a time of settlement and war with Mexico. Along his way, Francis meets up with a one-armed mountain man, and later rescues Lottie and Billy, children abandoned on the prairie. Together the three children encounter bandits, soldiers, storms, and eccentric travelers, and discover an ancient treasure. But the real treasure lies at the end of the trail-Tucket's home.Paulsen, Gary is the author of 'Tucket's Travels Francis Tucket's Adventures in the West, 1847-1849, Book 1-5', published 2003 under ISBN 9780440419679 and ISBN 0440419670.
