Summary "The Mystery of Lost River Canyon" by Harry Castlemon is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows young George Edwards, who is struggling with the consequences of his father's criminal past and the recent death of his mother. Living a solitary life in the woods, George faces challenges from his unsympathetic Uncle Ruben and the distrust of his community while seeking both independence and a better future. At the start of the novel, we meet George as he navigates his difficult life after losing his mother and dealing with the stigma surrounding his father's imprisonment. In a heated exchange with his Uncle Ruben, George decides to leave his uncle's home and live in a cabin by the lake, where he hopes to earn a living fishing and trapping. The narrative introduces elements of mystery and tension as George contemplates his future while also witnessing suspicious activities from wealthy boys in the village, setting the stage for unfolding adventures related to both friendship and potential crime. As the story progresses, George's actions will intertwine with the lives of other characters, leading to unexpected developments. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
