Summary "The Arizona Callahan" by H. Bedford-Jones is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Nelly Callahan, a girl living on the untamed Beaver Islands in Lake Michigan, and introduces a newcomer named Hardrock Callahan, who has mysteriously arrived by boat amidst a dramatic storm. The novel navigates themes of adventure, local conflicts, and the clash between clannish island traditions and outsiders. The opening of the book sets a vivid scene with Nelly observing a storm from her isolation on Hog Island, witnessing a man struggle in a canoe after his boat sinks. As the events unfold, Nelly learns of the man's name—Hardrock Callahan—who appears injured yet lighthearted when he arrives at her camp. Meanwhile, Nelly hides her own troubles, stemming from the expectations of a marriage arranged by her father with a local man, Hughie Dunlevy. As Nelly and Hardrock interact, tensions rise between Hardrock and Hughie, hinting at future conflicts. The setting is rich in atmospheric detail, showcasing the rugged beauty of the islands while hinting at deeper social issues, promising a compelling blend of romance, conflict, and adventure.
