| Summary | "In the Heart of the Rockies: A Story of Adventure in Colorado" by G. A. Henty is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character Tom Wade, a young lad embarking on a quest for adventure and independence as he seeks to join his uncle in the wilds of Colorado after the recent loss of both parents and the resultant financial strain on his family. The opening of the novel introduces the aftermath of Tom and his sister Carry's mourning period after losing their mother, following which Tom expresses his desire to leave Portsmouth in search of a more meaningful future. Feeling useless at home and eager to support his family, he contemplates pursuing the life of a gold-seeker and adventurer, following a letter from their Uncle Harry. The narrative captures Tom’s internal struggles and decision-making process, illuminating his youthful determination to seek fortune and adventure in America rather than settling for an unfulfilling life at home. The first chapter sets the stage for Tom’s imminent journey, characterized by themes of loss, resilience, and the yearning for a more significant existence.
