Summary: "Captain Fly-by-Night" by Johnston McCulley is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of California during a tumultuous historical period, the story follows the adventures of the titular character, a caballero known for his charm and mischief, as he navigates through social and political tensions in his quest for love, wealth, and reputation. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Sergeant Carlos Cassara and a group of soldiers at a presidio in Santa Barbara, California, during a lazy siesta. Unbeknownst to them, a neophyte Indian is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his brother while being reprimanded by the sergeant. The atmosphere changes with the arrival of a mysterious traveler, whose unexpected presence stirs curiosity and suspicion among the soldiers. The beginning sets the stage for themes of deception, camaraderie, and the complexities of colonial life, while hinting at an intrigue involving conspiracy as various characters’ fates intertwine in a land rife with uncertainty.
