| Summary | "A Man: His Mark. A Romance" by W. C. Morrow is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Adrian Wilder, a solitary young man living on Mt. Shasta, who finds himself facing the catastrophic forces of nature as a severe winter storm approaches. The narrative explores themes of isolation, duty, and human vulnerability, particularly as Wilder becomes embroiled in a tragic accident involving a man and woman trying to escape the storm. The opening of the novel introduces Adrian Wilder, who is watching the ominous winter storms gather strength as he reflects on the security of his stone hut. His thoughts swiftly shift to concern for those in the mountain community, especially his friend Dr. Malbone. When a chaotic scene unfolds as a wagon caught in the storm is crushed by falling trees, Wilder is thrust into a harrowing situation where he must confront the consequences of nature's wrath. He discovers a woman, Laura Andros, still alive among the wreckage and takes it upon himself to care for her, despite his own feelings of inadequacy. The tension mounts as he navigates the responsibilities of nursing her back to health while grappling with the complexities of their new and unexpected relationship.
