The story centers around a young boy named Jack Danvers, who embarks on an adventure to his uncle's ranch in the Rockies, where he aspires to become a cowboy and learn about life in the wild. Through the experiences of Jack, the narrative offers a vivid depiction of ranch life and the challenges faced by those who inhabit the rugged landscapes of the American West. At the start of the novel, Jack, a pale and bookish fourteen-year-old from New York City, prepares to leave for his uncle Will Sturgis's ranch, following a physician’s advice for a healthier lifestyle. He expresses enthusiasm for the adventure ahead, despite acknowledging the hardships that come with ranch life, such as rough weather and physical labor. As he arrives at the ranch, he is introduced to the ways of cattle ranching, the beauty of the Rockies, and the animals that dwell there. The story sets the stage for Jack's growth and learning as he engages with nature, wildlife, and the skills necessary for survival, all while forming relationships with the ranch hands and understanding the intricacies of his new environment.
