| Summary | "Klondike Nuggets, and How Two Boys Secured Them" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows an elderly miner named Jeff Graham who, fueled by a longing for adventure, decides to embark on a gold-hunting expedition in the Klondike region of Alaska with the young cousins, Roswell and Frank Palmer. This narrative explores themes of ambition, the hardships of the gold rush era, and the bonds formed through shared trials. The opening portion of the book introduces Jeff Graham, who has a rich past as an Argonaut in the California Gold Rush, and his deep affection for the orphans Roswell and Edith Palmer, whom he helped after they lost their parents. After revealing his desire to seek gold in Klondike, Jeff convinces Roswell and Frank, who have ambitions of their own, to join him on this risky journey. As the group prepares for the expedition, tension arises from the worries of their mothers and the presence of an untrustworthy character, Ike Hardman, who seeks to profit illicitly from their quest. This sets the stage for the impending adventures and challenges they will face in the treacherous wilderness. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
