Summary "Under Handicap" by Jackson Gregory is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Greek Conniston, a young man from a wealthy background who embarks on an impulsive journey into the desert with his friend Roger Hapgood, seeking adventure and escape from their privileged, yet unstimulating lives. As the narrative unfolds, the stark contrast between their cushioned existence and the unforgiving desolation of the desert becomes evident, setting the stage for themes of self-discovery and personal growth. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to a barren desert landscape as Greek and Roger travel on the Overland Limited train, depicting the opulence of their surroundings juxtaposed with the harsh outside world. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they encounter a girl on horseback trying to catch the train, igniting Greek's curiosity. After deciding to disembark in the desolate town of Indian Creek, the two men face the realities of rugged life in the West. Roger, discontented and uncomfortable, contrasts sharply with Greek's growing fascination with the desert and its people, particularly the spirited young woman, hinting at potential romantic developments in the story. As the duo navigates their newfound environment, they must confront the question of identity and purpose in a landscape that challenges their previously unexamined lives.
