Raw gold : a novel by Bertrand W. Sinclair
"Raw Gold" by Bertrand W. Sinclair is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the North American frontier, focusing on the lives of cowboys, lawmen, and the complexities of the law in a rough, evolving territory. The narrative centers around Sarge Flood and his encounters with various characters, particularly his old friend Gordon MacRae, a member of the Northwest Mounted Police, andLyn Rowan, the daughter of a murdered cattleman. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the themes of nostalgia and loss as Flood reflects on the changing landscape of the West and the law's role in maintaining order among outlaws and whiskey-runners. We see Flood's encounters with Mounties and cowpunchers, leading to a tense situation involving a confrontation with a policeman over illegal whiskey, ultimately showcasing the law's unyielding nature. As the story unfolds, the significant events of a hold-up, a murder, and a buried fortune set the stage for a gripping tale of adventure, justice, and the pursuit of gold, while also highlighting personal relationships and the impact of past decisions on their present lives.
