Summary "The Orphan" by Clarence Edward Mulford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a complex character known as The Orphan, who is viewed with a mix of fear and disdain by those around him. As the narrative unfolds, it contrasts The Orphan's dark reputation with the innate goodness that may still lie within him, particularly when he is confronted by lawman Sheriff James Shields. The book seems poised to explore themes of morality, law, and redemption against the backdrop of the Wild West. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to The Orphan, a notorious outlaw whose violent acts have made him a feared figure in the region. Sheriff Shields sets off on a mission to confront The Orphan after hearing about his latest misdeed, which involves the slaughter of some sheep herders and their flock. The sheriff's journey is marked by a mixture of dark humor and grim determination, as he prepares for a confrontation that could go either way. The opening establishes an intriguing dynamic between these two characters—both are depicted as formidable in their own rights, setting the stage for a complex interplay of conflict and potential camaraderie as the story progresses.
