The listing, Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan (Vintage 1965 Children's Book) has ended.

On June 28, 1940, the Norwegian freighter "Bomma" reached Baltimore with a cargo of gold bullion worth $9,000,000. When the Bomma's captain asked for a police escort while unloading the bullion, a strange story came to light. The gold, it was learned, had been slipped past Nazi sentries by Norwegian boys and girls! Under the very eyes of the enemy, these children had pulled the gold on their sleds to a freighter hidden in a fiord off Norway’s coast. That no harm might come to the brave children, the captain did not tell the location of the fiord. Some names and details have been changed, but this is a true story. It is a stirring tale of courage shown by real children who helped their country in a time of great danger.

This is a vintage 1965 paperback children’s book by Marie McSwigan, published by Scholastic Book Services. It is in good condition.
