As the man of the house, he feels that's his job, just as his younger brother Gus's job is to ask question after question. Though Ollie is unwilling to admit it, he doesn't have all the answers. He can't even read, unlike Alys, the only girl and only friend he has outside of Gus.Meanwhile, a man who calls himself a geologist has arrived in town. Not only can he read books, he can read rocks, the first person that Ollie has ever seen who looks at rocks with fascination, not desperation. Most important, he knows how to stake a silver claim. So when Ollie, Gus, and Alys stumble upon a cave rich with silver and form a friendship with that geologist, the future suddenly looks good. The problem: Elijah Gatchett runs the Gulch and claims all its silver. Men have been kicked out--or shot at--for seeking it on their own. But for the kids, the only thing worse than their families staying under Gatchett's thumb is getting run out of town with not so much as a penny in their pockets.The kids are desperate to find an answer. It may lay in that dark cave. How Ollie, Gus, and Alys navigate all this--with a surprising ending--is an old-west adventure that has never been told before.

The hunters of Puno
One fateful day 9000 years ago in the high Andes Mountains, Warawara and Phaxsi successfully hunted two adult vicu簽a with their atlatls (spear throwers)--but they also inadvertently orphaned a baby vicu簽a. Wiskachita, their young daughter, pleaded to spare the cr穩a's life, but the small community of five families desperately needed the clothing and food it could provide. That night in their ichu grass house, Warawara and Phaxsi hatched a plan. They sheared the animal's fine wool and wove it into a baby's hat. The next morning, they presented the hat to a family in need and convinced the community to work together in caring for the cr穩a. In that moment, a little vicu簽a became a community member and the first vicu簽a in a herd that would grow to provide the community with warm clothing for life in the cold mountains. The story of Warawara, Phaxsi, Wiskachita, and their community was co-created by members of the Peruvian Aymara community of Mulla Fasiri and archaeologists from Peru and the US. It is based on traditional Aymara knowledge and archaeological excavations at the 9000-year-old site of Wilamaya Patjxa. Not only is this a story of a strong, innovative family, but it is also the story of a strong Aymara culture whose innovations have enhanced the modern world. In order to make the story accessible to different audiences, we tell the story in three languages-Aymara, Spanish, and English.Un d穩a memorable, hace 9000 a簽os, en las altas monta簽as de los Andes, Warawara y Phaxsi utilizando sus est籀licas para lanzar dardos, cazaron con 矇xito dos vicu簽as adultas sin darse cuenta de que dejaban atr獺s a una cr穩a hu矇rfana.

Esa noche, en su casa de ichu, Warawara y Phaxsi idearon un plan. Esquilaron la fina lana del animal y la tejieron en un gorro para beb矇. A la ma簽ana siguiente, regalaron el gorro a una familia necesitada y convencieron a la comunidad de cuidar en conjunto a la cr穩a. En ese momento, una peque簽a vicu簽a se convirti籀 en miembro de la comunidad y en la primera de una manada que, con el tiempo, proveer穩a a la gente de ropa de abrigo esencial para sobrevivir en las fr穩as alturas andinas. La historia de Warawara, Phaxsi, Wiskachita y su comunidad fue co-creada por miembros de la comunidad aymara peruana de Mulla Fasiri junto con arque籀logos de Per繳 y Estados Unidos. Se basa tanto en el conocimiento tradicional aymara como en los hallazgos de las excavaciones arqueol籀gicas realizadas en el sitio de Wilamaya Patjxa, con una antig羹edad de 9000 a簽os. No solo es la historia de una familia fuerte e innovadora, sino tambi矇n la de una cultura aymara resiliente, cuyas contribuciones han enriquecido el mundo moderno.
