Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.fadedpage.com "Stories of the Foot-hills" by Margaret Collier Graham is a collection of fictional narratives written in the late 19th century. The book appears to explore the lives of various characters in a rural Californian setting, addressing themes such as land rights, family dynamics, and interpersonal conflicts against the backdrop of the wilderness. The narrative is likely to focus on individuals like Lysander Sproul and his wife, Minervy, as they navigate their lives among neighbors and the complexity of their relationships. The opening of the story introduces Lysander Sproul, who is driving his mules toward a mesa and is contemplative about the surrounding land and his interactions with Colonel Nate Forrester, a wealthy figure in their community. As he travels, he encounters his wife, Minervy, who expresses both excitement and anxiety about his dealings with Forrester, particularly regarding the land they own and the contentious relationships with others, including his mother-in-law, Mrs. Withrow. There’s a sense of tension and struggle as the characters deal with issues related to property and water rights, foreshadowing potential conflicts that may arise in the storyline. As the narrative develops, it hints at broader societal themes while focusing on domestic life and the challenges that come with it. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
