(Peter Bernard) 1880 1957 Kyne, Peter Bernard Cornwell, Dean 1892 1960 Kindred of the Dust E-text prepared by Stephen Schulze and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Kindred of the Dust" by Peter B. Kyne is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Hector McKaye, a successful lumber magnate known as "The Laird of Tyee," and his family dynamics, especially focusing on his son Donald. As Hector navigates the challenges of wealth, family expectations, and moral dilemmas, the novel explores themes of social status, personal integrity, and community ties in a small lumber town. The opening of the novel introduces us to Hector McKaye, who watches his ships return to port from the cliffs above the town of Port Agnew, which he helped establish. Through Hector's character, we see his ambitions and dreams, particularly for his son Donald, who is in high school and yet to carve out his own identity. The narrative sets a contrasting backdrop with the introduction of Caleb Brent and his daughter Nan, who live modestly on the Sawdust Pile, a contested land in Port Agnew. As Donald grapples with his heritage and societal expectations, the opening hints at the future interactions between him and Nan Brent, setting up potential conflicts and relationships that will be pivotal as the story unfolds.
