520			_a"Pioneer Boys of the Gold Fields," by Captain Ralph Bonehill, is a historical fiction account written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the adventures of three ambitious youths who set out in 1849 from various backgrounds, each seeking fortune during the California gold rush. As they journey westward, they face numerous challenges, including encounters with wild animals and nefarious characters in a quest for gold and prosperity. The opening of the tale introduces Mark Radley, an orphan who feels trapped under the iron rule of his miserly step-father, Jadell Powers. After reading newspaper accounts stirring excitement about gold discoveries in California, Mark, filled with impulsive enthusiasm, resolves to escape his stifling situation. His decision to set off for the West leads to an array of challenges, including a confrontation with his step-father and a tense chase, which marks the beginning of his journey toward self-discovery and adventure, paving the way for the thrilling escapades that will follow.
