A Vendetta of the Hills Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "A Vendetta of the Hills" by Willis George Emerson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in mid-California and revolves around characters deeply intertwined with their rugged Western surroundings, including the bandit Don Manuel, known as the White Wolf. This tale hints at themes of romance, revenge, and the historical conflicts between settlers and indigenous people, as well as personal quests for gold and justice. The opening portion introduces a richly depicted rural California setting at the dawn of a June morning, where we meet key characters such as Dick Willoughby, a cattle foreman, and Lieutenant Chester Munson, who are engaged in lively conversation at a store near the remnants of Fort Tejon. They await the arrival of Guadalupe, an Indian squaw known for bringing gold nuggets from the mountains, although her elusive nature intrigues the men. Their discussions soon reveal the history of a longstanding blood feud, the Vendetta of the Hills, focused on the tragic fate of Rosetta, sister of Don Manuel. The narrative promises a blend of adventure, mystery, and romance as the characters navigate their lives amidst old rivalries and the lure of hidden treasures.
