Summary "Rob of the Bowl: A Legend of St. Inigoe's" by John Pendleton Kennedy is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative is set in Maryland, exploring the history and struggles of the ancient capital of the province, focusing particularly on St. Mary's City and its notable events surrounding colonial life, religious intolerance, and warfare. Central to the tale is the character of Captain Jasper Dauntrees, who commands a garrison and is depicted navigating the complex social and political landscape of the time. At the start of the story, the author sets a reflective scene by describing how St. Mary's has faded from prominence, marked by a rich history that is now obscured. The opening chapters delve into the ghost of the town's past, detailing its geographical features and its significance in early American history. As the narrative unfolds, it introduces characters like Captain Dauntrees and his companions as they confront both supernatural tales surrounding a haunted house and the political intrigues of their current day, marked by religious conflict and challenges to their governance. The stage is set for a blend of adventure, mystery, and historical exploration, suggesting a multifaceted story that intertwines personal and collective challenges.
