Summary | "Vanguards of the Plains: A Romance of the Old Santa Fé Trail" by Margaret Hill McCarter is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set along the quaint and adventurous Santa Fé Trail and revolves around the characters, primarily the young orphan Gail Clarenden, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and adventure in the wild landscapes of America’s frontier. The narrative captures the challenges and dreams of those who dared to traverse the rugged plains during a pivotal time in American history. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, Gail Clarenden, as he reflects on his childhood and the beginning of his journey toward the vast and uncertain West. Living near Fort Leavenworth, Gail, along with his cousins Beverly and Mat Nivers, yearns for exploration and adventure. As they prepare for a trip to Santa Fé with their uncle Esmond Clarenden, who is a merchant, the children learn about the impending war and the dangers that lie ahead. The relationships among the characters are established, particularly the bond between the children and their affectionate protector, Uncle Esmond, as well as Jondo, a brave plainsman. The narrative sets a tone of courage, longing, and the bittersweet nature of growing up, as the group embarks on a journey that promises both challenges and the hope of a brighter future.
