The Wanderers; Or, Adventures in the Wilds of Trinidad and Orinoco Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The Wanderers; Or, Adventures in the Wilds of Trinidad and Orinoco" by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows the Macnamara family, particularly the children Guy, Marian, and their cousin Arthur, who face a series of challenges after fleeing religious persecution and financial troubles in the United States, eventually seeking refuge in Trinidad and navigating the dangers of colonial life. Their journey is marked by encounters with local authorities, grappling with their faith, and persistent threats from the Inquisition. At the start of the narrative, the Macnamara family is forced to leave their prosperous life in Pennsylvania after political unrest and financial difficulties arise. They journey to Trinidad, where their mother tragically dies, prompting further turmoil as two priests attempt to impose Catholic rites on her burial. The family eventually flees to the wilderness of South America to escape the Inquisition's scrutiny over their Protestant beliefs. The opening chapters establish the family's struggle, their inner conflicts regarding faith, and hint at the myriad adventures and close calls that await them as they strive to remain true to themselves in a foreign land.
