About this book

Fred King is a young man who has been working in the coal industry for years, but it hasn't soiled his positive, helpful attitude nor his ambitious spirit to succeed. He shows courage whether he or another is in peril, and uses his strength in defense of what is right against some awful characters in his mining town. (Summary by Keith Salis)
