Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"An Outlaw's Pledge; or, The Raid on the Old Stockade" by Colonel Spencer Dair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the life and misadventures of Red Rogers, a notorious outlaw who escapes from jail and embarks on a daring quest to honor a pledge made to a fallen comrade. This unfolding tale is steeped in themes of loyalty, rebellion, and the complexities of moral choices in a lawless landscape. The opening of the book introduces Red Rogers as he shatters the stillness of the night with a cry that signals trouble for a group of Mounted Scouts on patrol. The three scouts, Jennings, Shaw, and a rookie named Scotty, initially find themselves in a precarious situation, caught off guard by their missing horses, which have been stolen by the cunning outlaw. As tensions rise, the narrative reveals the rivalry among the scouts, the clear danger posed by Rogers, and the desperate stakes involved as they navigate the wilderness. The chapter sets the stage for an imminent clash between the forces of law and disorder, showcasing both the rugged environment of the Bad Lands and the suspenseful dynamics between characters.
