A Mountain of Gold

A stirring and inspiring tale of survival, A Mountain of Gold is as memorable as it is educational.

An aged diary is discovered in the mountains of North Georgia, USA. In it is revealed the life of a teenage boy and his experiences growing up in the 1840s in a wild land stolen from the local Indians. Changes in his life lead him into a very close relationship with Nature-so close he can no longer relate to civilized human beings.

A Mountain of Gold was written for youth ages 12 and older, but has been received with highest praise from adult readers. The book is not only a great adventure, but inspires dialogue and reflection. It delivers lessons in history, ethics, biology, economics, and English vocabulary from an earlier age.
