The Golden Canyon is a classic adventure novel written by G.A. Henty. The story is set in the American West during the mid-19th century and follows the adventures of a young Englishman named Frank Norris.

Along the way, Frank befriends a young girl named Alice, who is the daughter of a wealthy rancher. Together, they must navigate the treacherous landscape of the Golden Canyon and outsmart their enemies in order to survive. The book is filled with thrilling action, vivid descriptions of the American West, and Henty's trademark historical accuracy. It is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure novels and tales of the Wild West.Here among the mountains they could subsist on the proceeds of the chase and the little plantations tended by the women, but this offered small attractions to the restless and warlike Indians, who preferred depending upon the plunder that they could always gather by a raid upon the defenseless Mexican villages. Thus during the whole journey they had not once caught sight of an Indian, though they had two or three times made out, with the aid of a telescope Tom had brought with him, little clusters of wigwams far away among the hills.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
