Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Hunted Outlaw, or, Donald Morrison, the Canadian Rob Roy" by Anonymous is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in an isolated region of Quebec, focusing on the life and struggles of Donald Morrison, a young Highlander who becomes embroiled in serious conflict and ultimately finds himself labeled an outlaw. The book delves into themes of love, betrayal, and the impact of social and legal injustice on rural communities. The opening portion of the novel sets the scene with deep psychological introspection about the nature of crime and the complexities of human behavior, suggesting that motives can lie hidden beneath a surface of respectability. As the story progresses, we are introduced to the life of the Highland settlers in the Lake Megantic area, highlighting their clannish, simple yet deeply moral lives amidst the looming influence of modernity. We also meet Donald Morrison, portrayed as a passionate and gifted young man, whose yearning for a greater purpose eventually leads him down a dark and tumultuous path. The prologue and initial chapters paint a vivid picture of the characters and setting, foreshadowing the tragic events and conflicts that will unfold as Donald's life becomes intertwined with themes of honor, loyalty, and the struggle against injustice.
