"This lively and colorful drama of the pioneers who settled our American Northwest just a few generations ago unfolds the adventurous and romantic story of a spirited young schoolteacher who met many challenges of the frontier with humor, courage, and admirable achievement. Slender, green-eyed Katherine Duncan was inexperienced and far from confident when she arrived in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley to take her first teaching post. Moreover, the antagonistic attitude of her employer, wealthy, powerful Nils Bengston, created real difficulties. But even though chivalrous Carl White, the handsome son of the riverboat captain, offered to take her back to the easier, safer life of the city, Katherine was bravely determined to succeed in her chosen endeavor here. Paced with gripping action, including a racing prairie fire and a wild ride through a blizzard, Gold Mountain is vibrant with authentic color and alive with characters drawn convincingly from American Life."
