Summary "The Boy With the U. S. Survey" by Francis Rolt-Wheeler is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young protagonist named Roger Doughty, who aspires to be part of the United States Geological Survey and seeks adventure in the untamed wilderness of Alaska, despite being initially assigned to swamp survey work in Minnesota. Through his determination and youthful curiosity, the novel explores themes of perseverance, exploration, and the spirit of adventure. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Roger as he meets Mr. Rivers, an Alaskan explorer, expressing his desire to participate in the Survey. The opening chapters set the groundwork for Roger’s journey, highlighting both his eagerness and the challenges he faces as a newcomer to the tough work of surveying. His initial enthusiasm is tempered by the practical realities of fieldwork, such as the intense physical demands and the importance of following instructions. Roger’s experiences and interactions with seasoned professionals establish his character as he navigates the rigors of the job and the camaraderie of the survey team, all while dreaming of the adventures that await him in Alaska.
