The year is 1900. The dawn of a new century. Seth knows how he wants to make his living but his father has other ideas.

The move to Galveston is being made so Seth will have more opportunities to become a doctor. But before school begins for the fall, Seth is given a job on a building crew and he is loving it. He has decided to tell his father that he will not go to college but will stay on the building crew.
