The Treasure Trail

"The Treasure Trail" by Frank Lillie Pollock is a story set at the turn of the century that pulls you into the life of Elliott, a spirited adventurer searching for his place in the world despite his past missteps. We find Elliott reflecting on his life with Margaret Laurie, just before he’s about to leave, and their casual ride soon turns into a wild predicament as they seek shelter from a storm. Their talks show their fondness for each other, while clashing ideas about life come up. Elliott’s decision to leave for Omaha is colored by a strong connection with Margaret, and the desire to find wealth sets the stage for both adventure and peril, promising an exciting chase for long-lost treasure amid risky escapades.
