Description
This second volume finds Jeremiah Coulter drawn into a scheme to revive an old gold mine, with the help of some experienced Chinese miners. His plans soon get complicated, as several local parties strive to jump his claim to the mine and destroy his father's job and reputation.
Publisher's Description of Tunnel of Gold Book 2 (Goldtown Adventures)
When Jem Coulter is caught in a miners' riot, he learns the worst: the Midas mine is no longer producing the gold the town relies on to stay alive. Will, the son of the mine's owner, tells Jem the only way to get the Midas working again is to blast deep into the ground. This means a nearby abandoned mine must be reclaimed for an air shaft.
But Jem discovers that Chinese miners, including his friend Wu Shen, are working those old scavenger diggings. Even the arrival of James Carter, co-owner of the Midas, and the his son Chad can't convince the Chinese to give up their claim.
When Jem's father, farmer-turned-sheriff of Goldtown, is ordered to evict the Chinese from their mine or lose his job, Jem is caught in the middle. Then Will comes up with a solution. If Jem goes along with it, Pa can keep his job and the Midas will get its air shaft. What Jem doesn't realize is that Will's risky plan may lead to disaster deep in the heart of the old mine.
An exciting follow-up to Badge of Honor (book 1), Tunnel of Gold will entertain readers ages 8 to 14 with its fast-moving plot and colorful characters, and teach them historical details about life in the post-Gold Rush days of 1860s California.

Category Description for Goldtown Adventure
This four-volume series provides elementary and junior-high students with adventure stories about the old west that contain an element of mystery and intrigue. Each novel focuses upon the adventures and trials of a young boy growing up in California in the 1860's shortly after the Gold Rush had lost most of its momentum. Readers discover as they move through the pages that life itself is something of a mystery, and that making honorable choices is not always easy or convenient. The tone and content of each story is rich, engaging, and consistently wholesome without coming across as stuffy or moralizing. The novels contain print that is easy-to-read, but each volume contains only a modest number of black-and-white illustrations. 144 pgs, pb. ~ Mike
