Book Two in the Christopher Adams Adventure Series follows almost 13-year-old Chris back from the Civil War battle zone in Georgia, to his home territory in Pennsylvania. He discovers a secret compartment in a tin box from his mother, which holds three mysterious clues. It sets him on an adventure to find an Indian boy named Jeremy Red Feather. The story involves picking up a new, handicapped, best friend, Jack, two new four-legged friends, and a long trip almost half-way across America. He has exciting adventures aboard trains, stage coaches, a riverboat, and on horseback. The highwaymen from book one return to threaten him. Along the way, he saves a 10-year-old black boy from slavers, 2 girls from kidnappers, a stage coach from being robbed, an old couple with a runaway team, a father, and his family from mounted thieves. As a result of his search he finds himself part of an Indian family that has a special tie to him. [Best if reads after Book One. For 9 to 15 Year olds.]
