Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Beyond the Sunset" by Arthur D. Howden Smith is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The tale is set in a wilderness landscape and follows Henry Ormerod, a man deeply affected by personal loss who is drawn back into adventure with the help of his friends Tawannears and Peter Corlaer, as they seek to explore the unknown lands beyond the Mississippi River. The beginning of the novel introduces Henry Ormerod, a grieving widower living in New York, who is struggling with memories of his lost wife, Marjory. As he feels trapped in his life, he is visited by the governor and his old friends Tawannears, an Iroquois chief, and Corlaer, a frontiersman. They offer him a chance to escape his sorrow and embark on a journey to discover the mythical "Land of Lost Souls." This opening sets the stage for Ormerod's growth, interweaving themes of loss, friendship, and the vastness of the American wilderness as they venture into uncharted territories.
