"Henry More Smith: The Mysterious Stranger" by Walter Bates is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative recounts the exploits of Henry More Smith, a notorious road agent known for his daring criminal activities, daring escapes from jail, and elusive nature as he evaded the law across New Brunswick and beyond. The story is centered around Smith's multiple arrests and escapes, highlighting the complexities of his character and the impact of his actions on the authorities involved. The opening of the work introduces Henry More Smith as he arrives in Windsor, Nova Scotia, presenting himself as a respectable newcomer while secretly engaging in theft and deception. Employed by a local farmer and marrying his daughter, Smith quickly becomes a person of interest due to a series of mysterious thefts tied to his presence. After escaping arrest, he embarks on a series of adventures marked by further crimes and clever evasions from law enforcement, all of which set the stage for an enthralling tale of suspense and intrigue. The narrative promises a blend of human drama and the cat-and-mouse dynamic typical of historical criminal accounts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
