| Summary | "Lahoma" by John Breckenridge Ellis is a novel set in the late 19th century, steeped in the rugged feel of the American frontier. The story revolves around Brick Willock, a rough and hardened man living in isolation in the mountains, who finds himself intertwined with the fate of a young girl named Lahoma. The narrative is filled with tension as it begins with a dire encounter between Willock and a band of highwaymen, showcasing themes of survival, innocence, and moral complexity amid a lawless landscape. The opening of the book sets a dark and thrilling tone as Gledware, the girl's father, pleads for his daughter's life amidst a life-threatening confrontation with marauders. In a harrowing twist, Brick Willock, who was part of the criminal band, intervenes and ultimately assists Gledware in escaping with Lahoma, the sleeping child caught in the fray. Willock’s brutal world is contrasted with his unexpected compassion for Lahoma, hinting at the transformative journey ahead in both their lives. The chapter effectively builds intrigue by showcasing Willock's internal struggle and potential for redemption as he grapples with his past and contemplates a future with the innocent girl who has unwittingly become part of his life. This opening promises a tale rich with adventure and the quest for a sense of belonging in a tumultuous era. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
