TUCKER AND THE HORSE THIEF by Susan Terris. Come West with her lawyer father to Gopher Flat in the aftermath of the Gold Rush, and passing as a boy (because it's safer), tall, independent twelveyear- old Abigail Tucker Delaney makes friends with Solomon Weft, earnest son of a Jewish storekeeper. Despite her father's dislike of Jews (and of Indians, Chinese, French, etc.), Tucker is drawn to the Wefts and spends more and more of her time with them while her neglectful father is away- -ostensibly handling matters for the Teardrop Mine, but actually plotting to make off with a hidden cache of gold. Solomon confides his dreams of becoming an actor and tries to talk Tucker into running away with him to San Francisco. But after the violent death of Tucker's father, her true sex is revealed and, although Solomon had suspected it, the raw truth leaves him feeling betrayed, bereft of a friend, and furious. Melodramatic touches aside, Tucker and Solomon have a hard- gained maturity and substance, and the situation is essentially credible. Though Solly leaves for San Francisco alone and Abigail prepares to return to her family in the East, we know that these two have not seen the last of each other.
