| Summary | "The Frontier Boys in the Sierras; Or, The Lost Mine" by Wyn Roosevelt is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young explorers, known as the Frontier Boys, as they embark on a thrilling journey to locate a legendary lost mine hidden deep within the Sierra Nevada mountains. As they make their way there, they encounter various challenges, including a strenuous sea voyage and dangerous encounters with wildlife. At the start of the tale, the Frontier Boys—Jim, Jo, Tom, and their friend Juarez—find themselves navigating the tumultuous waters between the Hawaiian islands aboard their ship, the "Sea Eagle". They charmingly interact, demonstrating their camaraderie amid sea sickness and the chaos of a stormy night. After overcoming a harrowing ordeal at sea, including a close call with a rogue wave, they discuss their next adventure—the quest for a lost mine, reputed to be full of treasure, as hinted by their companion Jeems Howell's intriguing backstory about the mine and its elusive history. The opening sets the stage for a blend of camaraderie, adventure, and encounters with nature, enticing readers to follow their journey into the wilds of the Sierras.
