Summary "Tenderfoot" by John Garland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Ross Grant, a young boy aspiring to become a surgeon, who faces significant challenges as he transitions from a sheltered life to the rugged and demanding environment of the Wyoming mountains. 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. The tension between Ross and his father's expectations foreshadows the challenges he will face in pursuing his aspirations in the unforgiving landscape of the West, setting the stage for his journey into adulthood and responsibility as he prepares to travel to Miners' Camp.
