The story follows the Percival family and their friends as they embark on a summer journey to Alaska. The narrative is filled with themes of exploration, camaraderie, and the beauty of nature, as the characters experience the great American wilderness and the wonders of the Alaskan landscape. At the start of the novel, a bright July morning sees the characters gather excitedly at the Boston and Lowell Depot, preparing to board a train bound for an extraordinary journey across the continent to Alaska.
