Nick Adams
In "Indian Camp" and "The Doctor's Wife," Nick Adams is a thoughtful, curious child, more attached to his father than to his mother. He experiences the end of young love in "The Three-Day Blow." Nick grows bold; in "The Battler" he goes train-hopping and gets in an altercation with some homeless men. Nick is wounded in World War I (Chapter 6) and returns to what seems to be the Great Lakes area in "Big Two-Hearted River." On his return, he craves solitude and contact with the outdoors. Nick makes a successful return to civilian life, mainly by recreating the better parts of his military experience.
