The story follows a young boy named Jack Danvers, who embarks on a journey through the western United States, specifically the Rocky Mountains, alongside his mentor, Hugh Johnson. The narrative captures their experiences with the landscape, wildlife, and local Indigenous tribes, illustrating both the beauty and challenges of frontier life during that era. The opening of the book sets the stage for Jack and Hugh’s adventure as they navigate a river on a steamboat, moving toward their destination, Fort Benton. Jack reflects on his previous experiences with the Piegan tribe and his eagerness to reconnect with nature. The narrative introduces significant historical context by mentioning the challenges faced by Native Americans, such as disease due to contact with Europeans.
