Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Silver Canyon: A Tale of the Western Plains" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the mid-19th century and features a group of characters including Dr. Lascelles, a driven cattle farmer, his daughter Maude, and young Bart Woodlaw, as they seek adventure and new opportunities on the perilous Western plains. They face numerous dangers, from hostile Indians to wild animals, while searching for the precious silver that lies within the rocky landscape. The opening portion of the book introduces the characters and sets the stage for their journey into the untamed wilderness. Dr. Lascelles and his companions are initially camped between a small tent and a fire, contemplating the risks associated with their venture. When some tension arises regarding their willingness to proceed into dangerous territory, Bart, eager for adventure, reassures everyone of their commitment to continue searching for silver amidst the looming threats posed by nature and Indigenous tribes. This part establishes not only the treacherous environment they must navigate but also begins to develop the theme of courage and resilience in the face of danger as they embark on this new chapter of their lives.
