Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The finding of Jasper Holt" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel written in the early 20th century. It blends Western adventure with a gentle romance, following Jean Grayson and the enigmatic Jasper Holt as danger, reputation, and moral courage test them on their way to Hawk Valley. The opening of the novel follows Jean on a crowded train where she encounters two men: an ominous drifter named Scathlin and the vigilant Jasper Holt, who is secretly shadowing Scathlin for stealing a wallet of vital mine papers tied to Holt’s feud with Harrington of Hawk Valley. When Scathlin learns Jean is bound for the Harringtons, he slips the incriminating wallet into her keeping. A catastrophic wreck hurls Jean into a river; Holt rescues her, tends her through a night in the wilderness, and guides her on a hard day’s trek marked by resourcefulness, quiet tenderness, and growing trust. They secure food and shelter at a remote homestead, get horses, and send reassuring telegrams before riding on together. As their bond deepens, Holt warns that Hawk Valley despises him and begins a frank confession of his past, hinting at a struggle between who he has been and who he wants to be.
