The narrative explores his growth, determination, and the stark realities of both his medical ambitions and frontier life. The opening portion of the book introduces Ross Grant and his uncle, Dr. Fred Grant, as they respond to a mining accident in which a miner suffers a grievous arm injury. The narrative establishes Ross's medical aptitude and his desire to train as a doctor, despite his father's opposition. Ross, only seventeen, showcases his heroism by taking charge of the situation before his uncle arrives, impressing everyone with his calm and capable demeanor.
