I was in water up to my armpits and I stuck my head under to see what was shining. I didn't think anyone had ever been here before and I couldn't imagine what it could be. I raised my head above the water, took a deep breath and went down to see what it was. I picked it up and couldn't believe it. I knew what it was as Tom had shown me a gold nugget once. Ian Wallace was fifteen when he found gold. He was alone in the world except for a friend of his fathers. This man was Tom Buell, a mountain man that would help him to become a man among men. He grew up living by the "Code of the West" where a handshake was your contract, a promise was to be kept, your word was your bond and women were revered. He let no one take what was his and he took from no one. His friends would kill for him and the women in his life longed for his return. His adventures took him to Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky and Illinois. The book tells of his adventures along the way.
