Plot summary - 1935 edition
Nancy Drew finds out that she has won a rather unusual prize in a contest, a piece of land in Canada. She takes a trip, her first outside of the United States[1], to see what her new property looks like.
As she is traveling by train to Canada, she meets an authoress named Ann Chapelle who is also traveling to Canada. Suddenly, the train crashes, and everything is thrown into confusion. Nancy and her two friends, Bess Marvin and George Fayne, are alright, but the authoress that Nancy talked to is in a nearby hospital, gravely injured. When they find her, Miss Chapelle tells Nancy the reason she was going to Canada, and asks a favor of her - to give a message to Miss Chapelle's grandfather, and to a lost love whom she hasn't seen since she ran away from home some years ago.
Along with this request, Nancy also has another problem: Two men have heard that there might be gold on Nancy's land, and are determined to get there first.
