Summary: "The King of Arcadia" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Breckenridge Ballard, a young engineer who takes on the daunting task of overseeing the construction of a dam in the enigmatic Arcadia Park, all while contending with dangers both natural and human. The narrative hints at underlying conflicts, including a mysterious telegram warning Ballard to steer clear of the project, and a feud with the land's current owner, Colonel Adam Craigmiles, known as the "King of Arcadia". The opening portion of the book sets up Ballard’s journey as he prepares to embark on this new venture, showcasing his interactions with fellow professionals, and highlighting warnings about the project's history of fatalities. Through engaged dialogues, readers learn about the intertwined lives of Ballard and Elsa Craigmiles, the colonel's daughter, which may complicate the rivalry between Ballard and her father. As Ballard navigates through his preparations and his burgeoning feelings for Elsa, the groundwork for tension surrounding the impending construction project is expertly laid, signaling that danger and romantic entanglements will play significant roles in the unfolding narrative.
