This is a picture of Antonio Francisco Gomez and his twin sister, Margarita Teresa Gomez. They live on the great hacienda, or plantation, of Señor Fernandez, in the wonderful country of Mexico, and they are eight years old. The boy is named Antonio for Saint Antonio and Francisco for his father, and the girl is named Margarita for Saint Margarita and Teresa for her mother. But nobody ever thinks of calling the Twins by all these names. They are called just Tonio and Tita, to save time. Even their father isn’t called by his long name! Everybody calls him Pancho—that is, everybody but the Twins, of course. Their mother isn’t called anything at all for short. She is always called Doña Teresa. I do not know why this is, unless perhaps it is because she can make better tortillas, and chicken mole, and candied sweet potatoes than any one else on the whole hacienda.

Jim and Josie Miller are already pioneer children in Indiana, when the story opens. Their father has gone to California in the Gold Rush of '49. Aunt Maria finds them a burden and big brother Ben does his best to take care of them. They are all relieved when the letter from California comes and the plans for the long journey overland can be made. The story of that journey is the story of the Pioneer Twins. The covered wagons, the long, slow march of the caravan, the Indians, friendly and hostile, the camp-fires, the prairies, the buffaloes...
