| Summary | "The Angel of the Gila: A Tale of Arizona" by Cora Marsland is a novel written in the early 20th century. This fictional work is set in a mining camp in Gila, Arizona, and revolves around the character Esther Bright, a dedicated schoolteacher who arrives in the rugged community with aspirations to bring education and moral guidance to its residents. The narrative explores themes of compassion, human struggle, and the transformative power of love and community. At the start of the novel, the setting is established as a rough and lawless mining town, marked by saloons and a multi-faceted society struggling with vice and immorality. The opening section introduces Esther Bright, who is determined to make a difference despite facing hostility from some locals regarding her plans to start a Bible school. As she begins to connect with the children and the community, key figures like Kenneth Hastings emerge, illuminating the complexities of societal change and personal redemption. The interactions between characters set the stage for further developments, highlighting both the challenges and the profound impact Esther is likely to have on Gila’s inhabitants.
