| Summary |
"Hunting for Hidden Gold" by Franklin W. Dixon is a mystery novel written in the late 1920s. The story centers around Frank and Joe Hardy, two teenage brothers who are the sons of a famous detective. As they yearn for adventure, they become embroiled in a plot related to a stolen shipment of gold while also dealing with unusual circumstances that lead them to travel to Montana. The opening of the book sets the stage for the Hardy boys' latest escapade as they receive a letter from their father, Fenton Hardy, who has been called to Montana to investigate a mysterious case involving hidden gold. Excited about the adventure, the brothers express their desire to assist him, only to find themselves at home, planning a skating trip. However, their day takes an unexpected turn as they are caught in a blizzard during their outing, leading them to seek shelter in a nearby cottage where they encounter an old man named Jadbury Wilson. As the boys help him, they learn about his past and connections to the mining history of Montana. This sets them on a path toward uncovering the mystery of the hidden gold and their father's injury, compelling them to join the adventure despite unforeseen challenges.
