The story is set in the backwoods of Kentucky during a period that blends historical themes with fictional elements. The narrative centers around a young boy named Sprigg, whose vanity and desire for a pair of red moccasins lead him into a series of adventures, ultimately testing his character and judgment. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Sprigg, an only child raised by Jervis and Elster Whitney in a humble log cabin. Spoiled by his parents, Sprigg becomes increasingly obsessed with acquiring a pair of striking red moccasins, inspired by an image of an Indian boy on a show bill. His insistence on obtaining the moccasins drives him to persuade his father to fetch them from their old home, but as he receives the coveted footwear, Sprigg's vanity leads him to run away from home. This reckless decision sets him on a journey where he faces numerous challenges, beginning with an awakening realization that he is lost in the wilderness, ultimately forcing him to confront the consequences of his actions and his longing for home and acceptance.
