They embark on a perilous journey across the country, facing many dangers and obstacles along the way.As they travel westward, Johnnie and Billy encounter a diverse cast of characters, including Native Americans, cowboys, and outlaws. They also experience the harsh realities of life on the frontier, including hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. Despite these challenges, the boys remain determined to reach their ultimate destination: California.Throughout the novel, Atherton explores themes of courage, perseverance, and friendship. She also offers a vivid portrayal of life in the American West during a time of great change and upheaval. The Valiant Runaways is a thrilling adventure story that will captivate readers of all ages.In less than two hours they were climbing a mountain trail leading through a dense redwood forest. In these depths the moon's rays were scattered into mere flecks dropping here and there through the thick interlacing boughs of the giant trees. Those boughs were a hundred feet and more above their heads. About them was a dense underforest of young redwoods, pines, and great ferns; and swarming over all luxuriant and poisonous creepers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
