Summary "Where the Trail Divides" by Will Lillibridge is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a tense frontier setting amid the escalating conflict between settlers and Native Americans, revealing the fears and struggles of individuals facing imminent danger. The central figures include Sam Rowland and his wife, Margaret, who grapple with the looming threat of violence in their isolated settlement. The opening of the novel introduces a nameless man traversing a desolate prairie, encumbered by fear and exhaustion as he anticipates danger lurking behind him. Meanwhile, we meet Sam Rowland, who refuses to flee despite warnings of an impending massacre by hostile Indians, illustrating the pioneer spirit and conviction to defend one's home. The narrative swiftly escalates as a frantic stranger arrives, warning of the chaos and death descending upon their settlement. Rowland and his family are depicted in a moment of grave uncertainty, already grimly aware that their chosen isolation may lead to dire consequences as danger rapidly approaches. This opening sets a tone of suspense and foreboding, establishing the atmospheric depth of life on the frontier during turbulent times. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
