Out of all the things Mac and Jim have done on their journey so far, one act in particular remains to be the boldest. This is when the pair help deliver London's daughter-in-law's baby. Here, Mac convinces everyone, including Jim, that he is a trained medical professional who is qualified to deliver babies. Mac is so successful with his actions, that he establishes his authority, gains total trust from London, and unifies the men, all in one night. Mac later reveals his lack of education in medicine. he has never had any training and has never participated in a birth before.
Mac proves to be a highly intelligent and tactful individual. he is bold enough to impersonate a doctor, smart enough to execute his plan smoothly, and observant enough to recognize this opportunity in the first place. He tells Jim that it is highly important to take advantage of any opportunity which will promote their party's cause.

This scene in the book I found to be a pinnacle event in the book also. It illustrates how far they will go for the cause, as well as how willing people are to help each other.
