Snow-Bound at Eagle's
Produced by Donald Lainson; David Widger
"Snow-Bound at Eagle's" by Bret Harte is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows John Hale, a civic-minded man from the East who finds himself caught in a stagecoach robbery in the Sierras, where he and his fellow passengers are forced to confront bandits. As the narrative unfolds, the stark realities of life in the rugged West clash with Hale's expectations of civility and order, leading to both a physical and moral journey. The opening of "Snow-Bound at Eagle's" introduces us to Hale and three other passengers on a stagecoach traveling through dark, mysterious forests. Suddenly, the coach is stopped by bandits who demand their valuables. Hale, filled with a mix of fear and indignation, witnesses the lack of response from his companions, revealing their desensitization to danger. After the robbery, he grapples with his sense of honor and justice, prompting an impulsive decision to pursue the thieves. As the narrative progresses, Hale's journey will intertwine with the lives of those he encounters in the wilderness, exploring themes of bravery, morality, and the struggle for survival in a lawless land.
