Summary "Lost in the Cañon" by A. R. Calhoun is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around young Sam Willett, his father Mr. Willett, and their companions as they navigate the treacherous landscapes and challenges of Southwestern Colorado while pursuing a life as miners. The narrative unfolds in a wilderness setting filled with adventure, danger, and the struggle for survival, highlighting themes of camaraderie and resilience. The opening of the novel introduces Sam Willett and his companions, including the young Ute boy Ulna and the stout black boy Ike, as they hunt in the unforgiving terrain in search of food. After successfully capturing a bighorn sheep, they make their way back to their camp known as Gold Cave Camp, where Mr. Willett awaits. The father-son duo, along with their diverse group of friends, face not only the challenges of the wild but also interpersonal conflicts, as hinted by tensions surrounding a recent murder that entwines them with the local mining community in Hurley’s Gulch. Through rich descriptions and engaging dialogue, the stage is set for a coming adventure filled with peril and moral dilemmas as they navigate their harsh realities.
