"The Making of a Man" by W. D. Flatt is a historical narrative written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the life of a young man named Robert as he leaves his humble beginnings in the Orkney Islands to seek opportunity in Canada during a time when the West was largely uncharted and teeming with potential. The book highlights themes of personal growth, family dedication, and the transformative journey of a youth who strives to build character against the backdrop of nature's challenges and societal expectations. At the start of the narrative, we meet Robert and his brother William as they prepare to leave their family for a job with the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada. Their departure from home is filled with heartfelt farewells, particularly from their mother, who instills in them the importance of faith and character. Shortly after their arrival in Canada, Robert undergoes various trials, including navigating a perilous voyage and struggling to acclimate to the harsh wilderness. His bravery is soon put to the test when he jumps into the sea to rescue a friend, showcasing his inherent courage. This opening portion sets the stage for Robert’s ongoing adventures and his determination to uphold his values as he confronts the challenges of the new world.
