Summary "The Valiant Runaways" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows the adventures of young Roldan Castanada, a spirited Californian boy from a wealthy family, who faces the impending threat of conscription into the army. Unwilling to give up his freedom and indulge in the monotony of barrack life, Roldan decides to run away with his friend Adan Pardo, embarking on a journey filled with danger and excitement as they attempt to evade the soldiers. At the start of the book, Roldan is introduced as he grapples with the news of conscription that has disrupted his carefree life at Rancho Los Palos Verdes. Distraught and determined, he devises a plan to escape his fate, recruiting Adan to join him. The boys set off on a series of thrilling escapades, including a narrow escape from a bear and a heart-pounding river crossing. Their journey quickly leads them into encounters with various characters and challenges, setting the stage for their adventures in the wilderness of California as they seek freedom from governmental obligation and the thrill of life on the run. The engaging opening establishes themes of friendship, bravery, and rebellion, enticing readers eager for a tale of youthful adventure and camaraderie. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
