The Gold Cache
Excerpt from The Gold Cache
And with that he put into my hand several shining, heavy yellow disks that he drew from the pouch. They were twenty-dollar gold pieces and there were twenty-five of them! I held in my hand five hundred dollars in gold! It was more money than I had seen in my whole life. To my eager questions he replied briefly that he and his party had found the gold pieces on the white men's trail far to the south, but, as the Shining buttons had no holes, the party had taken only a few of them.

Good read
Short but we'll written adventure tale. Seems to be historically accurate rendition of a great plains journey by a young Blackfoot, a young white man, and their Mexican companion.
