| Summary | "Sergeant Silk, the Prairie Scout" by Robert Leighton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the adventures of Sergeant Silk, a member of the North-West Mounted Police, as he navigates the trials and tribulations of life on the western frontier of Canada. In this setting, the reader encounters themes of law and order, personal integrity, and the challenges faced by settlers and lawmen in a rugged landscape. The opening of the book introduces us to Sergeant Silk and his companion Percy Rapson as they ride across the prairie. They soon encounter Charlie Fortescue, a young man in distress who has been accused of stealing a bag of gold intended for his fiancée's dowry. As Silk listens to Charlie's plight, we learn about the love triangle complicating the situation: Charlie's engagement to Dora Crisp, the daughter of the rancher who accuses him of theft. The chapter sets the stage for a mystery involving accusations, adventure, and the exploration of justice in a lawless land, hinting at the deeper narrative that will unfold as Silk embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the theft.
