Sixteen-year-old runaway Elisha Stone has turned up in Detroit, a hardscrabble frontier town on the edge of the civilized world. A canny survivor with the instincts of a born naturalist, Elisha signs on to an expedition into Michigan's vast, uncharted Upper Peninsula. The party is led by two charismatic adventurers: Silas Brush, a ruthless, land-grabbing ex-soldier, and George Tiffin, a quixotic professor desperate to discover proof of his unorthodox theories about the origins of man. On the eve of the expedition's departure, Elisha pens a heartfelt letter to his mother in Newell, Massachusetts. But it is Elisha's estranged father, the Reverend William Edward Stone, who opens the envelope. Grief-stricken by the recent death of his wife--a death Elisha could not have known about--Reverend Stone is jolted into action: he must find his son. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of clergy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Runaway teenagers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Michigan $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widowers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Scientific expeditions $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1815-1861 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Detroit (Mich.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Michigan $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Upper Peninsula (Mich.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Adventure fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 10 952 $l NOPA983 $d 20201013104919.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20201013043048.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720032439.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20180717020451.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20180524011410.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180118060610.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20150404021448.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20140619022706.0 952 $l BBPC251 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E19FA9962B1011DEAA7E7608A8D7520AInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
