Summary "The Last Chance: A Tale of the Golden West" by Rolf Boldrewood is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Arnold Banneret, a Commissioner of Goldfields and Police Magistrate, who embarks on a risky mining investment alongside Jack Waters, a miner who has returned from a difficult journey with promising quartz specimens. Set against the backdrop of the Australian gold rush, the novel explores themes of ambition, trust, and the harsh realities of life on the goldfields. At the start of the novel, we meet Arnold Banneret as he grapples with financial pressures and a mining case that weighs heavily on his mind. He encounters Jack Waters, a weary and destitute miner, who implores Banneret to invest in a lucrative mining claim he's discovered. Despite his initial hesitations about the high stakes, the Commissioner ultimately agrees, recognizing the potential for great wealth. The opening chapters establish the complex relationships and personal stakes involved in this venture, hinting at the challenges and adventures that lie ahead as they travel into the less explored areas of the West in search of fortune.
