Summary: "A Daughter of the Dons: A Story of New Mexico Today" by William MacLeod Raine is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of contemporary New Mexico, the story revolves around young Manuel Pesquiera and his encounters with local miners and land disputes. The narrative introduces themes of bravery, honor, and the complexities of love intertwined with social and legal conflicts stemming from historical land grants. The opening of the novel introduces Manuel Pesquiera, who is traveling by train to a mining camp. His attention is captured when he overhears talk about Richard Gordon, a miner who is undertaking a highly risky project in a flooded tunnel. As Manuel seeks out Gordon, the reader is drawn into the tension surrounding the mining life and the perils that accompany it. We also learn of the land disputes concerning the Valdés and Moreño grants, which will likely play a pivotal role in the story.
