Summary "The Furnace of Gold" by Philip Verrill Mighels is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Beth Kent, a young woman who travels from New York to the Nevada wilderness to visit her ailing half-brother, Glenville Kent. Along the way, she encounters a range of characters, including the enigmatic horseman Van, who complicates her journey with his bold and assertive nature, ultimately leading to a thrilling adventure filled with excitement and danger. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the desert landscape of Nevada and the characters making their way to Goldite. Beth, the protagonist, travels with her fiancé, Searle Bostwick, and her maid, Elsa, when their automobile breaks down. They encounter Van, a rugged horseman who seems to embody the wild spirit of the region. As tensions rise, a confrontation occurs between Van and Bostwick, leading to Bostwick's hasty departure and leaving Beth and Elsa in Van's charge. The opening chapters set the stage for an adventure filled with daring exploits, intrigue, and the dynamics between these characters, hinting at future challenges as they navigate both the physical and emotional landscapes of the West.
