'The Spenders: A Tale of the Third Generation' by Harry Leon Wilson is a romance-adventure novel that follows the Bines family's third generation.

Bines, was a genius builder and organizer who made his vast fortune by exploiting the newly-opened land's wealth. The third generation now contains the stanch qualities of its rugged forebears, but also a disposition that is a bit less strenuous and more modern. After Daniel's sudden death, his family has to locate his young son and old father to inform them of the news. The novel follows their journey as they search for the two Bineses.
