"The Tenderfoots" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Philip Trask, a New Englander seeking work and adventure in the American West during the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around his encounters with characters from vastly different backgrounds and the adventures that arise as he navigates life as a newcomer in the rough environment of Colorado. The opening of the novel introduces Philip Trask as he embarks on his journey westward. Traveling in a crowded train car, he observes the stark landscape of eastern Colorado and the boisterous company of treasure seekers around him. We learn of Philip's past, his family's struggles, and his father's mysterious disappearance, which motivates his quest. A particularly striking moment occurs when he intervenes to protect a girl named Jean from the advances of a drunken man, marking the beginning of a connection that hints at more to come. As the story unfolds, Philip's character evolves amid the challenges of the West, setting a foundation for his growth and adventures ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
