| Summary |
"The Trail Boys of the Plains; Or, The Hunt for the Big Buffalo" by W. Bert Foster is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the American West, focusing on the adventures of young boys, Chet Havens and Dig Fordham, as they embark on a quest to find a legendary buffalo herd. The narrative explores themes of friendship, bravery, and the challenges of frontier life. At the start of the book, Chet and Dig engage in a conversation about the existence of buffaloes, leading to discussions about hunting and their desire for adventure. Their excitement is cut short when they learn of a cave-in at the Silent Sue mine, trapping Chet's father and several others inside. As the boys band together to find a way to rescue the miners, they encounter John Peep, a lame Indian boy who becomes an unexpected ally. The opening establishes a sense of urgency and promise, foreshadowing thrilling encounters and the development of friendships amid the danger and uncertainty of the wild frontier.
