Summary "Over the Pass" by Frederick Palmer is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1912. The book centers around themes of adventure, personal conflict, and romance set against the backdrop of the Arizona desert. The story introduces the protagonist, Jack Wingfield, a young and seemingly carefree cowboy style traveler, whose fate intertwines with a determined young woman named Mary Ewold and the dangerous local ruffian, Pete Leddy. The opening of the novel establishes a vivid setting as Jack rides through the Galeria Pass, enjoying the beauty of the Arizona landscape. His laid-back demeanor is abruptly interrupted when he overhears a tense conversation between Mary and Leddy, revealing a threatening situation. Jack intervenes in a somewhat playful manner, but the seriousness of Leddy's character becomes apparent when he reveals that he is a reputedly dangerous man with six notches on his gun. The scene shifts from simple observation to dramatics as Jack's cheerful indifference clashes with the darker elements surrounding Mary, setting the stage for a confrontation between the whimsical traveler and the violent local, ultimately foreshadowing a duel that could decide life or death for Jack. The dynamic between these characters creates a blend of humor, tension, and attraction that hints at the deeper themes of courage and identity in the face of danger.
