Summary "Elder Conklin" by Frank Harris is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a Western setting focusing on the complex dynamics between a schoolmaster, George Bancroft, and the young woman, Miss Loo Conklin, as they navigate their budding relationship against the backdrop of a rural community's challenges. The narrative explores themes of ambition, jealousy, and societal expectations within the lives of its characters. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the rural life of the Conklin family as Bancroft, a new schoolteacher, interacts with Loo and her father, Elder Conklin. The opening scene highlights Bancroft's admiration for Loo, juxtaposed with his discomfort regarding the customs and lifestyle of the Conklin family. Tensions rise as Loo inadvertently inspires a rivalry with Seth Stevens, a local man, sparking a duel that is both physical and emotional. The Elder’s principled stance against encroachment by federal troops adds another layer of conflict as he defends his family's land. Through rich descriptions and vibrant characterizations, the opening portion establishes a compelling mix of romance and tension that promises to explore deeper themes of loyalty, ambition, and the quest for identity.
