In Head West, Young Mouse: Abraham Lincoln's inspiring speech has made Maximilian even more determined to save his home.

The year is 1869, and the time machine has landed in a caravan heading West. In one of the covered wagons, Maximilian meets a friendly prairie dog named Madeline. She teaches him to pan for gold and is with him to witness the driving of the golden spike of the Transcontinental Railroad.
