Summary

"The Young Engineers in Nevada; Or, Seeking Fortune on the Turn of a Pick" by H. Irving Hancock is an adventure novel that throws readers into the lives of Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton, two young engineers chasing their dreams in the rugged landscapes of Nevada. As they set out to master the skills of assaying precious metals, they face a trial by fire that tests not only their engineering abilities but also their commitment to friendship and honesty. Early encounters, such as Tom's attempt to guide a young boy away from harmful habits and their run-in with a heated argument over mining claims, hint at the challenges and morally ambiguous situations that lie ahead during their ambition to seek fortune.
