Four years in the hatching/writing, this is an action/adventure story set in central Idaho's Salmon River country. Although a fictional story, the location is real. The Yankee Fork tributary of the main Salmon River has a long and colorful history as a placer gold mining area. Look up "Yankee Fork gold dredge" on Google and read about it.
The "preface" section of "Accidental Family" is a long 19th century account of the beginnings of the "Yankee Girl" mine, the fictional setting of Reese Adams and Jacob "Buck" Buckmaster's home base.
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I have in imagining and writing it.
Note that this story is Book One of the saga; when our heroes "go to war" in Mexico against the drug cartel, that will open Book Two.
