Summary "The Trail of the Axe: A Story of Red Sand Valley" by Ridgwell Cullum is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Dave, a robust and determined lumberman who came to the Red Sand Valley in search of success, and his complex relationships, particularly with the beautiful and vibrant Betty Somers, who has promised to marry the younger but troubled Jim Truscott. Themes of ambition, loyalty, and the harsh realities of life serve as a backdrop for the character-driven narrative." "At the start of the novel, we meet Dave, who embodies physical strength and a generous spirit but struggles with the perception of his plainness. Twelve years into his journey in the Red Sand Valley, he has established a successful lumber mill and garnered respect in the community. However, tensions arise when Jim Truscott, a young man with potential but lacking responsibility, returns to the valley after years away, having fallen into a life of debauchery. As the opening chapters unfold, we see Betty's internal conflict regarding her engagement to Jim amid news of his unsavory behavior. The groundwork is laid for a narrative that promises to explore the complexities of love and responsibility against a backdrop of personal struggle and communal life."
