Summary "The Spell of the White Sturgeon" by Jim Kjelgaard is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Ramsay Cartou, a young man who finds himself on a treacherous side-wheeler, the "H. H. Holter", en route to Wisconsin from New York. Enthralled by the wild beauty of Lake Michigan, Ramsay’s journey quickly turns into a struggle for survival when the ship faces an unforeseen storm, thus presenting themes of adventure, danger, and the lure of the uncharted frontier. At the start of the novel, Ramsay is captivated by the turbulent lake while awaiting his voyage to Three Points. However, his fascination is interrupted when he encounters a belligerent man named Devil Chad, who commands the crew's obedience. As Ramsay contemplates his decision to leave New York for the Midwest, the ship becomes overwhelmed by the storm, leading to a climactic wreck that plunges Ramsay into the icy depths of Lake Michigan. Struggling to survive, he is faced with the fearsome legend of the White Sturgeon, a mysterious creature of local folklore. The opening sets the stage for a thrilling exploration of man versus nature, as Ramsay learns to navigate a new, wild world filled with hostility and fortitude.
