Summary: "Timber-Wolf" by Jackson Gregory is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the rugged wilderness of the American Southwest, it explores themes of adventure, greed, and the human condition against the backdrop of gold fever. The story introduces a cast of characters caught up in a whirlwind following a sudden gold discovery, particularly focusing on the enigmatic Bruce Standing, also known as Timber-Wolf, and the consequences of his actions on the lives around him. The opening of "Timber-Wolf" immerses the reader in the sleepy mountain settlement of Big Pine, where excitement is sparked by the discovery of gold in the aftermath of a fight involving the seemingly insignificant Mexicali Joe. As news spreads, outsiders flood the town, each with their own ambitions. This influx incites tension between the old inhabitants and newcomers, and Bruce Standing makes his dramatic entrance, challenging the local power dynamics. The interactions between characters like Babe Deveril, Lynette Brooke, and sheriff Taggart set the stage for a conflict rife with betrayal, ambition, and the raw drive for wealth in the unforgiving landscape. The chaotic atmosphere foreshadows violent confrontations and complex relationships that will unfold as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
