Jack, the Young Ranchman 
A Boy’s Adventures in the Rockies

Jack Danvers is a sickly teenager more apt to spend his days inside reading rather than outside roughhousing and exploring. When his doctor recommends some outdoor time to allow Jack to build up his strength, it is decided that he should spend a few months helping out at his uncle’s ranch in the Rockies. Will this bookworm be able to adapt to life in the Wild West?
