The Deep Dark Silver Mine Marlene Bischoff

Welcome to my first "ALL ABOARD" 3-book series involving trains and true events in the early 1900's. Luke and Summer live a couple blocks from the train depot in the small mining town of Wallace, Idaho. Because their daddy is a train conductor for the Northern Pacific Railroad, Luke and Summer recognize every train that rolls through their little mountain community. Some trains carry silver and gold from the local mines and others carry people to and from Wallace. In Book 2, The Deep Dark Silver Mine, Summer loves exciting adventures. When Uncle Monte, who is visiting from North Dakota, is invited to go into the local working silver mine, Summer wants to go with. Unfortunately, in the early 1900's girls are considered bad luck in mines and not allowed to enter. And mines are usually deep underneath the ground. But Summer is determined and not afraid and soon finds a way to go with. The adventure, however, quickly turns scary! And she is helped to safety in a most unusual way. Because the Bible and Jesus was the heart of many families in early American history, the Christian value of "faith" has been incorporated into the story. Also, please don't forget to check out the educational "Fun Facts" at the end of the book. Happy "rail" reading!
