Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Man from Jericho" by Edwin Carlile Litsey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces readers to Major Thomas Dudley, a proud Kentucky gentleman, and his daughter Julia, who are faced with a nefarious threat against their prized horse, The Prince. As they navigate a tense situation filled with danger, the characters showcase themes of bravery, family bonds, and social standing in a post-Civil War South. At the start of the story, the effects of a thunder-shower give way to a serene afternoon in Kentucky, showcasing the beauty of the Dudley home. Major Dudley, content in his library, is brought news that The Prince, once gravely ill, is on the mend, igniting a sense of hope and vigilance. However, the atmosphere soon darkens as suspicions arise regarding an attempt to poison the horse, and it becomes clear that a local adversary, Devil Marston, poses a significant threat. As the Major grapples with this unseen enemy, the arrival of a stranger serves as a catalyst for action, stirring emotions and setting the stage for the unfolding drama. This tension-filled narrative promises a tale that intertwines themes of loyalty, rivalry, and the honor of Southern pride.
