The Valiant Runaways is a novel written by Gertrude Atherton. The story revolves around two young siblings, a boy and a girl, who are forced to flee their home in San Francisco due to their abusive father. The children embark on a perilous journey across the United States, encountering various obstacles and dangers along the way.As they travel through different states, the siblings face hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. They also encounter various characters, both good and bad, who help or hinder their journey. The children's courage and resourcefulness are tested as they try to survive on their own and avoid being caught by their father or the police.Throughout the novel, Atherton explores themes of family, survival, and the resilience of the human spirit. The Valiant Runaways is a gripping and emotional tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.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.
