"The Safety First Club" by William Theophilus Nichols is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a group of boys, particularly a young man named Sam Parker, who navigates the challenges of growing up and the importance of caution and safety in their adventures. The narrative sets the stage for Sam's character development, as he faces the consequences of impulsive decisions, particularly surrounding a hunting incident that leads to significant personal and moral dilemmas. At the start of the novel, Sam is depicted as a typical teenager with a mix of frustration and idealism, particularly about his plans for a day of hunting. After a series of misfortunes, he eagerly takes his father's gun and sets out to find deer, only to inadvertently shoot at a man, mistaking him for game. This shocking event unfolds in a series of reflections where Sam grapples with fear and guilt, particularly when Peter Groche, an undesirable character in town, is wrongfully accused of the crime. The opening effectively establishes the themes of recklessness and the search for redemption that will carry throughout the rest of the story.
