Big Ben and the Wasp in a Nevada blizzard tale
In a harsh snowbound Nevada camp a boy Charley Hilan risks death aiding four men kept alive by his care. Big Ben’s roughness gives way to remorse as Charley feeds, warms, and nurses the sick, eventually saving all but one, and earns forgiveness before dying himself. The tale ends with Charley’s grave and the men honoring his courage.
