Summary: "Nat Wolfe; or, The Gold Hunters: A Romance of Pike's Peak and New York" by Mrs. M.V. Victor is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Nat Wolfe, a rugged frontier hunter, as he navigates the challenges of the American West during the Gold Rush era, ultimately encountering a family of emigrants on their perilous journey. The themes of adventure, bravery, and the harsh realities of both nature and society are woven throughout the tale, highlighting the grit of those seeking fortune and a better life. At the start of the novel, Nat Wolfe rides across the plains, maintaining his vigilant demeanor, when he spots a struggling wagon carrying a family of emigrants. Offering his assistance, he partially engages with the family, sensing their desperation as they attempt to reach Pike's Peak. As the interaction unfolds, Nat's attention is drawn to a young girl in their group, Elizabeth, whose beauty and melancholy strike him. However, chaos ensues when a stampede of bison threatens their safety, and Nat heroically saves Elizabeth from impending doom, solidifying the bond between them amid the harshness of their surroundings. Nat's character is portrayed as stalwart and independent, embodying the spirit of the adventurous frontier lifestyle. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
