A wonderfully warm and atmospheric tale by Irving Bacheller of friendship, wisdom, growing up, war and love. The friendship is between the old man Eben, who rescues young orphan Bill from yet another orphanage, as the two migrate from Vermont to Paradise Valley. The wisdom comes from Eben. The growing-up is done by Bill, as well as the partaking in the war (the American Civil War) and the falling in love (the lady's name is Hope).
