About this eBook

Author Bedford-Jones, H. (Henry), 1887-1949
Title Arizona Argonauts
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Arizona Argonauts" by H. Bedford-Jones is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the bizarre happenings in the small desert town of Two Palms, Arizona, where the lives of its inhabitants intersect, particularly involving characters like Piute Tompkins, the town mayor, and a mysterious Chinese man named Tom Lee and his daughter, Claire. As the narrative unfolds, themes of ambition, identity, and the allure of fortune within the harsh realities of desert life are explored. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Piute Tompkins, who owns the local saloon and reflects on the oddities brought by Tom Lee and his daughter, Claire, who are both viewed with suspicion by the townsfolk. The conversation hints at various peculiarities about their presence and the speculation surrounding Tom's purpose in town. We also meet another key character, Sandy Mackintavers, who is drifting through Arizona after losing his wealth, suggesting that the book will weave tales of past fortunes and future aspirations as these characters grapple with their realities in an isolated environment. The opening sets the stage for a blend of intrigue, humor, and social commentary against the backdrop of the rugged desert landscape. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
