The Gold Miners' Rescue: Sheldon Jackson by Dave and Neta Jackson
The Gold Miners' Rescue: Sheldon Jackson by Dave and Neta Jackson
Stand alone novel
Summary:
As Adam Christian graduates from the famous Sitka Industrial and Training School, he dreams of one day becoming famous—like Dr. Sheldon Jackson, who started the school. The last thing Adam wants to do is return to his dull life in northern Alaska, so lie asks Dr. Jackson if he can join him on his 1897 expedition to the Yukon to rescue hundreds of starving gold miners. Surprisingly, Dr. Jackson agrees, and eager to say good-bye to his home and his people, Adam sets off on what he hopes will be the adventure of a lifetime.
But the excitement and fame Adam seeks soon are swallowed up in trials that not even the hardy young boy is prepared to face. Disaster seems to strike at every turn when they try to bring a herd of reindeer from Norway all the way to the Yukon in an effort to help the troubled miners. Will they reach the men before it’s too late?
Help is on the way, but will it be on time?

Opening Lines:
Waiting in line while all the other boys went into the little room to be interviewed by Dr. Sheldon Jackson had been like waiting for ice on the Yukon River to break up in the spring. But it had been Adam's choice to slip to the back of the line and let the other thirteen boys go first. If I'm the last one Dr. Jackson speaks to, thought Adam, he'll remember me best.
