"Rocky Mountain Boys; Or, Camping in the Big Game Country" by St. George Rathborne is an adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows two boys, Tom Tucker and Felix Edmondson, who embark on an expedition to the Rocky Mountains for trapping and hunting, seeking the thrills and challenges of the wilderness. At the start of the narrative, Tom and Felix are nearing their destination—a dugout in the foothills where they plan to spend a couple of months hunting and enjoying nature. As they arrive at this rustic cabin, they quickly encounter a bobcat that has taken up residence inside, setting the tone for their exciting adventures in the wild.
