Summary: "Scarlett of the Mounted" by Marguerite Merington is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the rugged and tumultuous world of a mining camp, where lawlessness and moral complexities intermingle. The plot is centered around Sergeant Scarlett, a member of the Mounted Police, as he navigates the challenges of enforcing law and order among the rough miners and the enchanting women who arrive in the camp, especially Evelyn Durant, the daughter of a what appears to be a wealthy miner whose real circumstances may prove otherwise. At the start of the book, we meet Parson Maclane as he approaches the chaotic scene at Lost Shoe Creek, where he encounters a group of unruly miners. The tone is lively and raucous, with playful banter among the miners that gives way to darker undertones of vice and temptation. Scarlett is introduced amidst a confrontation with Bully Nick and a colorful cast of characters, including Evelyn's father, Matthew Durant, who is revealed to be chasing a false fortune. As the opening unfolds, the reader is drawn into a world where the characters are struggling with their moral compass in the face of desire, reputation, and the harsh realities of their environment, setting the stage for conflict and character development.
