Kirsten’s family is saving money for new farmland, but when Kirsten lets a raccoon into the cabin out of compassion, he burns it down. Now they have no home and very few things, but if they can make enough money they can buy a house from friends going on the Oregon Trail. Kirsten and her brothe find Old Jack dead and many valuable furs in his cave that are enough to pay for the new house. (
