To Alaska for Gold
Om denne lydbog
This is the story of two young brothers from the backwoods of Maine ... Randy and Earl Portney. Having a difficult time financially, unable to pay their rent, even to keep on eating, they weren’t sure how to resolve their dilemma. Then, virtually out of the blue, they got an unexpected invitation letter from their Uncle Foster. He was going to head out for the big search for gold in Alaska and he wanted to know if the boys would go with him. For the brothers, that took care of their problem of “What do we do now?” Taking the trip to join their uncle in California and getting ready for the journey to Alaska was difficult. However, it was practically child’s play compared to what they encountered when they finally reached the far north in their quest for riches. Let’s listen from the beginning and learn what all happened leading up to the trip.
