| Summary | "The Doctor: A Tale of the Rockies" by Ralph Connor is a novel written during the early 20th century. Set in a rural environment, the narrative explores themes of community, family, and the struggles associated with personal ambition. The story centers around Barney Boyle, a young man with aspirations of becoming a doctor, as he navigates his responsibilities at home while supporting others in his community, particularly during significant events such as barn raisings and the challenges faced by a family dealing with injury. The opening of the novel provides a lush description of the idyllic setting around the Old Stone Mill, establishing a peaceful yet vibrant community life. Through the interactions between characters, including Barney and his mother, the groundwork is laid for central themes of sacrifice and ambition. Notably, the lives and expectations of the local families are depicted, alongside hints of Barney's aspirations, which foreshadow his upcoming journey into medicine. The dynamics of family relationships and his sense of duty are immediately apparent, creating a backdrop that promises both personal and communal challenges to come as the story unfolds.
