Summary "Buffalo Roost: A Story of a Young Men's Christian Association Boys' Department" by F.H. Cheley is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around young boys involved in a Christian community, particularly highlighting the adventures and personal growth of a young boy named Willis Thornton, who displays remarkable bravery and curiosity as he navigates the challenges of his youthful aspirations and the memory of his deceased father. The opening of the book introduces readers to a chaotic scene involving a train derailment, where young Willis exhibits his courage by rescuing a baby amidst the turmoil. It sets the stage for Willis' characterization as a brave and resilient boy who yearns for adventure and connection to his father's legacy as a miner. Alongside this initial action, readers gain insight into Willis's inner thoughts about his life without a father, his dreams of exploring the outdoors, and the influence of the Young Men's Christian Association on his life. As the narrative unfolds, it promises themes of camaraderie, the challenges of growing up, and the quest for identity as Willis interacts with his peers and confronts his own aspirations in the face of familial absence.
