The generation of juniors who first huddled around the fire place to hear Gwendolyn Hayden's stories of eastern Oregon's yesterday's now have roots of their own, to whom these updated and new really-trulies will afford as much delight as the originals did for their parents.

To bring these ever-popular stories of pioneering Oregon over into the Penguin series, we have introduced this volume with six brand-new adventures having to do with a silver-dollar rosebush. They feature a stagecoach Rick, Edwin and Edwina's first trainride, a mysterious silver-dollar wish and how it was fulfilled. The remainder of the book is filled with the choicest of the really-trulies with their never-to-be-forgotten adventures.
