Summary "Old Ninety-Nine's Cave" by Elizabeth H. Gray is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the picturesque Shawangunk Mountains, it intertwines local legend with the lives of the De Vere family, particularly focusing on John De Vere, who is faced with financial struggles and the potential sale of his mining claim. Themes of family, tradition, and the intersection between myth and reality appear prominent as the narrative unfolds around the enigmatic figure of Old Ninety-Nine, a native chief with a secret treasure hidden in a cave. The opening of the story introduces the Shawangunk region and establishes a backdrop rich in natural beauty and folklore. The De Vere family is introduced through John, who is navigating challenging times as he considers selling his claim to a mysterious businessman named Mills who has ulterior motives. Additionally, the narrative hints at a local legend surrounding Old Ninety-Nine, whose cave may hold untold riches. As discussions unfold around the potential sale, family dynamics, aspirations, and moral dilemmas take center stage, establishing the tension between financial gain and ancestral heritage that sets the stage for the unfolding plot.
