Summary | "The Westerners" by Stewart Edward White is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the American West during the gold rush era, particularly focusing on the tumultuous town of Three Rivers in the early 1870s. The story revolves around Michaïl Lafond, a young half-breed who aspires to join an expedition into the frontier. The novel likely explores themes of identity, race, and the harsh realities faced by settlers and Indigenous peoples in the changing landscape of the West. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the bustling and chaotic atmosphere of Three Rivers, where hopeful settlers gather to push onward to the gold discoveries of the Black Hills. Michaïl Lafond, who is caught in a state of inner tension amidst the drudgery and disappointment of waiting for the journey to commence, is portrayed as determined yet frustrated. As he awaits a genuine expedition, he meticulously investigates the conditions of the area while engaging with other characters, including men who will shape his fate. The opening sets the stage for the conflicts and challenges Lafond will face as he seeks acceptance and adventure amidst the diverse and often hostile population of this frontier town.
