On Kingdom Mountain by Howard Frank Mosher [Book]
Mosher has created a delightful character in Jane Hubbell Kinneson, a Vermont Abenaki Scot, who lives alone on her family mountain and does more things in an hour than most do in a day. Her life takes a zany turn when she saves the life of a colorful stranger who dreams of riches. While trying to dig up the past, they are also trying to save the future of an even greater treasure – the Kinneson legacy.
