The Shining Mountains
by Dale Wasserman
Synopsis
At a deserted mountain cabin, a wandering minstrel sings a ballad that evokes events 15 years past.
The three fur trappers who lived there adopted a boy, the sole survivor of a wagon train attacked by Indians.
A missionary couple claim the boy, who is finally won over by the motherly woman.
The trappers decided to make the trek west-- to protect them.
Finally the balladeer's identity is revealed.
