The story follows Frank Whitney, a 16-year-old boy who leaves his home in Boston to find adventure and work on a ranch near Puget Sound, driven by a desire to escape a mundane office job and earn a living. Upon arrival, Frank encounters the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the challenges of ranch life, learning valuable skills and forming friendships along the way. The opening of the story sees Frank traveling to Puget Sound while reflecting on the hardships he faced since leaving Boston. As he arrives, he is anxious about meeting the man who has offered him a chance at a new life on the ranch. The narrative depicts his journey of self-discovery as he leaves behind a life of relative comfort and enters a world filled with labor, camaraderie, and the beautiful yet potentially dangerous wilderness.
