Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Daughter of a Magnate" by Frank H. Spearman is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the American West, it delves into themes of responsibility, ambition, and personal relationships within the railroad industry. The narrative introduces Gertrude Brock, a strong-willed young woman, alongside her family as they navigate both the beauty and peril of their environment, particularly during a tumultuous storm. At the start of the story, the Brock party is traveling on a special train through the mountains, with Gertrude expressing restlessness over being delayed due to rising floodwaters obstructing their route. The conductor shares details about the landscape and the challenges posed by nature, setting a vivid scene of their train journey and hinting at deeper troubles ahead. As the rain falls and the tension builds, the characters find themselves grappling with both physical dangers and personal dynamics, laying the groundwork for the unfolding drama and interactions among the travelers.
