Thorpe Takes First Steps Into North Woods Lumber Camp
Thorpe, a twenty six year old with no prior business experience, seeks work in a Minnesota lumber firm. He endures a cold ride to a remote camp, where he enters a cook camp and begins learning the lumber trade under wary but influential Daly, Shearer, and new colleagues. He faces tests of temperament, skill, and resolve as he eases into the harsh frontier work.
