| Summary | "The Romance of Gilbert Holmes: An Historical Novel" by Marshall M. Kirkman is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on the life of Gilbert Holmes, exploring themes of love, loss, and adventure set against the backdrop of early American history. The narrative begins with a tragic event involving Gilbert's parents, setting the tone for his journey and the connections he forms. The opening of the novel introduces a melancholic scene at a New Orleans wharf, where the protagonist reflects on the changing world around him. He encounters a beautiful lady, whose compassion for the convicts marching past captivates him. We soon meet Gilbert, who reminisces about his early life and the deep bond shared with his loving parents. As the narrative unfolds, readers witness Gilbert's early experiences, including a near-fatal ferry accident, the struggles of frontier life, and the kindness of a Native American woman. The stage is set for exploration of Gilbert's adventures and romantic pursuits in a developing America amidst personal and external turmoil. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
