"Bruvver Jim's Baby" by Philip Verrill Mighels is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young child who is unexpectedly found amidst an Indian rabbit drive in the wilderness of Nevada by a rugged miner named Jim. The narrative explores themes of compassion, family, and community as Jim takes the child, who appears to be lost and abandoned, under his wing, prominently highlighting their bond and the miner's transformation as a paternal figure. The opening of the book sets the stage during a vivid description of a rabbit hunt by the Piute tribe. Here, we are introduced to a young boy, timidly riding on a pony, who finds himself separated from the Indian tribe and subsequently falls off, left behind amid the wilderness. This sets the scene for Jim's entrance, a lanky miner who discovers the boy sitting among scattered rabbits. Despite his rough exterior, Jim's heart opens to the lost child, whom he names "Skeezucks" or "Aborigineezer." The subsequent chapters follow their developing relationship, Jim's attempts at caring for the boy, and the unforeseen challenges they face in the rugged landscape of Borealis, ultimately showcasing the creation of a makeshift family against the backdrop of a close-knit community.
