Fort Benton, Montana’s main street was a child’s delight. The MacKay children, Rob and Marlo, loved this strange world of soldiers, trappers, Indians, and cowboys who walked and drank in the town’s confines. For adventurers, the fort was the end of the line.
The notorious Clint Sharndo gang rides into town. Turns out the gang had robbed the gold shipment from the steamer Dakota. Deciding to lay low for awhile, they get rooms in a local hotel. Marlo playing near the hotel takes it all in.
Having drank too much one evening and back in their hotel room, they talk of their robbery, and pass around a map where the gold is buried. What they don’t know is that Marlo, ever the adventure seeker, and her brother Rob, whom Marlo has dragged along, found the window to their hotel room. They see and hear everything.
She sneaks through the window, into their room after the gang leaves, and retrieves the map. She convinces Rob not to tell the Sheriff. This is their secret and they will be the town hero’s if they recover the gold. They study the map and find, to their delight, that the gold is hidden in the White Cliffs Badlands, that border the Missouri River. They build a raft and take off into an exciting, bold mission. With the Sharndo gang hot on their trail and Indians in the badlands, will they make it to the hiding place and return safely home? Find out in Rob and Marlo’s, Dakota Gold Adventure.
Dakota Gold A KIds Adventure on the Missouri River edition by John Anderson Children eBooks
Rob and Marlo are typical brother and sister, they may not always get along, but they love each other very much and are more than willing to band together if it means an adventure. Marlo comes to Rob one day with a secret she overheard about there being stolen gold somewhere. They talk about finding it and then they could be heroes when they return it to the authorities, but Rob never thought in a million years it would be more than just talk. When Marlo comes to Rob with the map of where the gold is, he is uneasy and unsure they should really go looking for it seeing it is downriver. Marlo did go through a lot to steal...errr, borrow...the map, so Rob and Marlo start the adventure off by building their own raft to float down the Missouri River to where the gold is hidden away. Soon they are off on an adventure that they never dreamed would happen to them. There are Blackfeet Warriors, gold thieves, a raging river, and much more that these two encounter along the way. Can they brave it all to get to the gold? If they get to the gold will they get to it and leave before the original thieves come back for it? How will they get back home even if they do succeed?This was such a great and exciting read, even for me as an adult. It was packed full of adventure and kinship. It reminded me a bit of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer, in how it is a tale of young kids going on this big and dangerous adventure. Rob and Marlo are very lovable characters. They were easy to like and easy to get to know through the great descriptions in the book. It was a book that I sat down with one night and finished in the wee hours of the morning the same night. The book had a wonderful flow to it, just like the Missouri River Rob and Marlo took their raft down. The "current" of the book picked up and slowed down, but was always moving and always exciting and filled with wonder and adventure. My twelve year old son also loved this book with its adventures and its fast pace. This is a read that is wonderful for kids and adults. No matter what your age, if you like adventure and wonder this is the book for you to dive into!
5/5 Stars!!!

Dakota Gold A KIds Adventure on the Missouri River edition by John Anderson Children eBooks Reviews
This book is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun adventure in old Montana! The book is an easy read, and the story is filled with good, clean fun for readers of all ages, but especially for kids. The tale reminds me of the likes of Huck Finn and company, and would actually be ideal for an adaptation to short film. Parents will appreciate the clean story, and kids will enjoy the hero and heroin of the tale, whose quick thinking helps them out of some tough spots. For anyone who ever dreamed of building and launching a raft in search of adventure.
Dakota gold is one of the best western stories I have read in a long time. Keeps you n you toes
