Elisha Stone left home at the age of 13 and now three years later (1844) he is setting out on the adventure of a lifetime. He will be exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula with two other men with the hope of discovering at least one previously unknown bird, animal, or insect. While Elisha is pursuing his scientific interest, his father, a minister, has set out from Massachusetts in search of his son. He wants to tell him of his mother's death before his own illness overtakes him. Along the way, both father and son learn about the importance of truth, family, and both the scientific and spiritual aspects of life.… (altro)
I really liked this book. It's hard to believe in this day and age that a 16 year old "boy" was considered a Man back then. But in this book he certainly did act like a man.
One of my favorite mathematical fiction books ever! WNYC.ORG recommended it.
