| Summary | "The Heritage of the Hills" by Arthur Preston Hankins is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a rugged, lawless region of California and follows Oliver Drew, a young man who inherits a parcel of land known as the Old Tabor Ivison Place after the death of his father. As he attempts to establish himself in this wild environment, he becomes embroiled in the dangerous dynamics of a local gang known as the Poison Oakers, while his interactions with the strong-willed Jessamy Selden add a personal conflict. The opening of the novel introduces Oliver Drew on his journey through a scenic but treacherous landscape, leading him to the small town of Halfmoon Flat. Here, he witnesses a tense conflict that escalates into a deadly shootout between two men, showcasing the violent culture of the region. Soon after, Oliver learns from local residents about the notorious gang, the Poison Oakers, and receives a foreboding warning about his newly acquired land. This gripping start sets the stage for Oliver's challenges in fitting into this turbulent world and the mystery surrounding his inheritance, particularly concerning his father's last message and the implications of the land he now owns.
