Silver Chief to the Rescue (Silver Chief #2)
by Jack O'BrienHere is a dog story that quivers with human life and drama, with the beauty and thrill of the Northland, with the courage of men and women pitted against the eternal cold. It is a heroic tale of the most ancient struggle of man against the elements in which modern innovations--serums, radio, the airplane--play a vital part. A handful of courageous men, women, and children locked in the boundless snows of the North were suddenly caught in the grip of diphtheria. Only serum could save them. One lone doctor was waging a losing battle against the horrible scourge which was stalking the silent wastes again. When hope was almost abandoned, Jim Thorne and Silver Chief arrived with the precious life-saving serum. The little outpost was saved. With the arrival of the Mountie and his stalwart dog, the luck of the community seemed to have changed. Drifting herds of caribou cast their shadows over the wastes--rich game and nourishing food to the isolated village. Following them came the fox. This meant priceless skins and a season of plenty. But mysteriously the skins of the fur-trappers were vanishing out of the traps, and none other than Silver Chief was blamed. Jim Thorne set himself the task of clearing Silver Chief's name, and the trail of investigation led him through many dangers and surprises. This is a tale that, without sacrificing one second of sheer narrative spell, is richly instructive in the lore of hunting, trapping, sledging, and the maintaining of order.

Such a horse was the General, a spirited and dangerous buckskin that had to be gentled if Tom was going to be allowed to keep him. It was unthinkable for the son of the American consul in Monterey to own a horse with a reputation of being a killer. Yet Tom was determined to have him, and with the help of his friends, Carlos and Black Eagle, he learned to manage the horse--to a degree. Into Monterey, center of bustling activity in the 1840’s when California briefly held its independence, came Spanish aristocrats and such famous explorers as Major John Fremont and Kit Carson. The General’s fame reached even their ears, and Tom swelled with their praise. More than ever he wanted only the best for his buckskin, and he longed to earn a jingling pair of Spanish silver spurs. Glory for Tom and his horse was waiting, too, in the hills and valleys of the Far West where they shared with Fremont and Carson the excitement of danger and adventure. Page Cooper, well known for her many books about horses, has combined her skill in that field with a knowledge and understanding of America’s past. On these pages an absorbing story unfolds, based on true happenings, sure to capture the eager interest of all young readers.
