Exciting!

My daddy read this book to the family, and I really enjoyed it. It's about a man named David Bolin, Who's father is a missionary. But David would like some adventure, so he went to America where he prospects for gold, but soon he leaves his two friends. He accidentally shoots someone in a fight, and some men who want to lynch him are after him. When he is caught, what will he do? This is a great book!

Strange...

I read this book when I was like ten or eleven and I loved it!I thought it was the greatest book ever written.Now some years later I re-read the book and got a different feel. The book was still exciting, but the religious-Christian-propaganda was way to clear!The book basically is just made up so they can write about how Christians are the better people. This worries me! I'm not writing God off completely, I'm just saying let's not become a cult with suicide pacts and murders!! Cheez! Still it's very well written and definitely a good read! Probably best for children; but parents be aware!

a true classic
