Summary "The Cobbler In The Devil's Kitchen" by Mary Hartwell Catherwood is a short story included in the collection "Mackinac And Lake Stories," written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Owen Cunning, an Irish shoemaker who has chosen the isolated Devil's Kitchen on Mackinac Island as his home and workshop. The story explores themes of solitude, cultural clash, and personal relationships against the backdrop of the vibrant and diverse community around him. As the cobbler goes about his daily life, he offers a glimpse into his encounters with both local French voyageurs and Native American characters, particularly a Sac girl named Blackbird. Through their interactions, the story reveals Owen's ambivalence towards the surrounding cultures, his rugged independence, and the complexities of human connection in a rapidly changing world. Tension arises when Owen learns of an old acquaintance, John McGillis, who is entangled in a romantic situation that calls into question his status as a widower. Ultimately, the story culminates in a resolution that blends humor and poignancy, revealing both Owen's character and the intertwined fates of the people living on Mackinac Island.
