Summary "The Young Engineers in Nevada; Or, Seeking Fortune on the Turn of a Pick" by H. Irving Hancock is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows young engineers Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton as they embark on an adventurous journey in Nevada, where they aim to learn about assaying precious metals. The narrative explores themes of friendship, integrity, and the relentless pursuit of success against various challenges. The opening of the book introduces the main character, Tom Reade, and his interactions with a young boy named Alf Drew, who displays some questionable habits, including smoking cigarettes. As Tom tries to encourage Alf to abandon this habit, the two encounter a tense situation involving a dispute over mining claims in Nevada. Reade's composed and proactive attitude sets the stage for their adventures, hinting at future confrontations with less scrupulous characters in a gold-seeking endeavor. The scene also establishes the dynamic between the main characters, which suggests a blend of camaraderie and mentorship as they navigate both personal and external conflicts.
