Summary "The X Bar X Boys at Nugget Camp" by James Cody Ferris is a children's adventure novel written in the late 1920s. The story revolves around the Manley brothers, Roy and Teddy, and their friends as they navigate the challenges of ranch life and embark on thrilling escapades in the western frontier. The opening chapters introduce a dramatic situation where Roy attempts to rescue a runaway pony, which leads to a tragic accident and the encounter with a wounded miner, Jerry Decker. At the start of the story, the two boys are engaged in everyday ranch activities when chaos ensues with Nell's pony running away, prompting a chase. Roy's valiant attempt to catch the pony almost ends in disaster when he is thrown off his horse and falls into a river. This event sets the stage for their meeting with Jerry Decker, an old miner who has been robbed of his valuable nuggets, which he insists are worth a large sum of money. The narrative unfolds as the boys uncover the implications of Decker's plight, hinting at the gold rush occurring in Nugget Camp, and foreshadowing further adventures as the lure of fortune begins to impact their lives and community.
