O knihe
After Rolly Farrington's parents lost their fortune during the 1930s depression, he swore he would overcome the poverty he was facing, but he had no idea how to do it. Along came Uncle Hank, who had made a small fortune drilling for oil in California. He would pay for Rolly's education if Rolly studied geology, because Hank knew that geologists make lots of money working in foreign countries like Colombia and Venezuela. Rolly was warned of the danger of drilling accidents, murdering bandits, and kidnappings. That didn't bother Rolly. Between wells, he learned caution after his pal, Leon, was shot while they searched for gold high in the Andes. Between wells, señoritas and fiestas made the highlife for the young gringos. One señorita in particular was the most attractive for Rolly, but he was sure he would never marry her. Rolly learned Spanish fast and became friends with everyone he met. He was living the life he had been looking for ever since he was that boy from that small town in California.
