| Summary | "The Cross-Cut" by Courtney Ryley Cooper is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Robert Fairchild, a young man who grapples with loneliness after the death of his father, Thornton Fairchild. Haunted by his father's mysterious past and an unsolved secret, Robert embarks on a quest that not only promises the possibility of wealth and adventure but also suggests underlying dangers related to a mining claim known as the Blue Poppy Mine. At the start of the novel, we find Robert Fairchild in the aftermath of his father's passing, ambling through their home filled with memories. As he seeks to uncover the truths left behind, which include a letter his father wrote him, he learns of the existence of the Blue Poppy Mine, sparking visions of a different, adventurous life. Driven by a sense of duty and curiosity about his father's past, Robert decides to travel to the mining town of Ohadi. Here, he is introduced to a range of characters, setting the stage for conflict and discovery as he faces both the legacy of his father and the lurking enemies associated with their mining endeavors.
