| Summary | "The Timber Treasure" by Frank Lillie Pollock is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Tom Jackson, a city boy from Toronto, who seeks adventure in the Canadian wilderness through a visit to his uncle's homestead. As he arrives in Oakley, he finds himself in an unexpected situation of uncertainty and adventure, focusing on themes of independence, survival, and the allure of the wilderness. The opening of the novel introduces Tom's arrival in Oakley, where he is anxious to reunite with his uncle and cousins but discovers that they are not present. After an exhausting journey, Tom is faced with the reality that his uncle's homestead has been abandoned, possibly due to a fire that has left behind charred remains. This initial setback sparks a sense of determination in Tom, who begins to consider the possibilities for his future in the woods, including trapping and potentially claiming land for himself. As he grapples with survival and self-sufficiency in the wilderness, he meets Indian Charlie, with whom he forms a bond and shared purpose, all while oppressing shadows of danger and competition in the form of other claimants interested in the valuable resources of the land.
