The story revolves around young Richard "Dick" Osborne and his adventures in a small Southern village during a time marked by the lingering effects of the Civil War and the onset of a new world conflict. The narrative primarily follows Dick and his twin sister Patsy, alongside their family and friends, showcasing their day-to-day lives, familial dynamics, and the intriguing yet perilous secret of a mine that Dick seeks to uncover. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Osborne family, particularly gloomy Dick, who has been assigned garden work by his father, Mr. Osborne, but is more interested in a secret adventure involving a candle, a hatchet, and the old Sterling Mine. Dialogue between the characters reveals their close-knit community, filled with playful sibling banter and discussions about local veterans. Meanwhile, young Dick's mischievous plans lead him to a mysterious mine, setting up a series of escapades that will intertwine themes of discovery, bravery, and personal growth as he navigates the challenges that come with his secretive quest. The beginning establishes both the familial love and the complexities of growing up, setting the stage for Dick's adventurous journey.
