Aiken is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the adventures of Old Pegs, a rugged mountain hunter with an indomitable spirit, and his encounters with various characters, including Rafe Norris, who seeks shelter after a close encounter with hostile Indians. As tensions rise in the perilous landscape, themes of bravery, survival, and unexpected bonds emerge. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Old Pegs, a peculiar yet courageous mountaineer who saves a young man named Rafe Norris from being pursued by a group of Blackfoot Indians. Old Pegs displays wit and resourcefulness as he navigates the dangerous terrain, and reveals a treasure more precious than gold, leading to the introduction of his daughter, Myrtle. The chapter sets the stage for action and adventure, highlighting the contrasting characters and hinting at complications that may arise as Rafe becomes entangled with Myrtle, while darker forces loom in the background.
