Synopsis

Join Francis Tucket’s final adventure and homecoming in this rip-roaring series set in the great American West. Francis Tucket, Lottie, and Billy have survived extraordinary, hair-raising adventures in their quest to find Francis's family, lost when he was kidnapped from a wagon train on the Oregon Trail. Now they meet up with a British explorer, bloodthirsty soldiers, and in a tragic, heroic encounter, with Jason Grimes, the mountain man. Their way is made more treacherous still by the secret they carry, the ancient gold they discovered in a Spanish grave. In this final adventure they head home at last, and an epilogue tells what happens to them on the Oregon frontier.

Goodreads review by Michael on June 10, 2021

Francis finally makes it home with Lottie and Billy in tow...but it's not quite a straight line! There are still several cliffhangers and adventures on the way.
