Good News. Social problems are the most intense in Rock Springs, a huge trove of coal, oil, shale, potash, sand, gravel, clay and cement rock. Since 1971, about 5,000 workers have moved in to build the giant Jim Bridger Power Plant- and work in a newly discovered oilfield. Another wave of outsiders, lured by the expansion of trona mines, a source of widely used sodium compounds, and the reopening of old coal mines, is expected to increase the town's 26,000 population...

Boys of similar brawn and background are separated and formed into four mixed "patrols," fittingly named Carson, Crockett, Bridger and Boone, which compete against each other. Since the key to success is teamwork, every new test prods the strong to help the weak, and the weak to push themselves to their limit...
