  • Summary

  • Samuel O’Donnell is a copper miner in Calumet, Michigan, struggling to provide for his wife and two children as bills pile up and winter approaches. Despite his best efforts, misfortune follows him at the Quincy Mine—timbers collapse, tools break, and accidents slow his work. His supervisor, Mr. Callahan, notices his difficulties, and Samuel fears losing his job, which would leave his family with nothing.

    Determined not to fail, Samuel works even harder, pushing through pain and setbacks. His commitment doesn’t go unnoticed. At the end of a grueling week, Callahan calls him into his office. Expecting bad news, Samuel is stunned when Callahan praises his perseverance and grants him a raise, recognizing his hard work and resilience.

    Relieved and overwhelmed, Samuel returns home to his family with renewed hope. For the first time in months, he feels a sense of security, knowing he can keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Despite the harshness of his work and the constant struggles, Samuel’s determination and integrity earn him the break he desperately needs, proving that perseverance and hope can make all the difference.
