Legend of the Thompson

Goldbloods

A richly illustrated family adventure rooted in a real Montana gold claim.

The Story

Something worth keeping

When Papa Two-Nugget leads his children and grandchildren into the rugged mountains of Central Montana in search of the legendary Ghost Lode, they expect an unforgettable family adventure filled with hidden treasures and the excitement of discovery. But as danger begins to shadow their journey, the Thompson Goldbloods discover that the greatest treasures are worth far more than gold.

Legend of the Thompson Goldbloods weaves real geology, frontier history, and a touch of wonder into a timeless adventure that speaks to readers of every age.

Told in the spirit of the old frontier storytellers, this is a story meant to be shared aloud, treasured across generations, and remembered long after the final page is turned.
