The story focuses on the lives of Norwegian immigrants as they journey westward into the Dakota Territory, reflecting the struggles and hopes of pioneer life.

This dramatic tale delves into themes of belonging, the challenges of settling new lands, and the deep emotional costs of such an endeavor. The opening of "Giants in the Earth" presents a vivid description of the wide-open prairie and introduces the caravan of Per Hansa as they journey across the landscape. The caravan consists of Per and his family, traveling in a makeshift wagon with their belongings, including a dairy cow. As they move along, they face uncertainty and hardship, with Per showing a mix of determination and worry about the journey ahead. The narrative captures both the beauty and desolation of the prairie, reflecting Beret's deepening sense of foreboding as they venture further into the wild, away from civilization.
