The story follows Colonel Jim Parrish, a wealthy but solitary man, as he navigates both past memories and current challenges in California's mining landscape. He has recently returned to Foleys to address issues concerning a squatter on his land, which brings him unexpectedly close to painful ties from his past. The opening of the book introduces Colonel Parrish as he travels through the picturesque but harsh California landscape to confront a squatter named Allen, who has taken residence on his property. Along his journey, Harsh realities of the past rise to the surface as he reflects on lost love and friendship that were intertwined with the name of Allen. Through encounters with various characters, including the young women June and Rosamund, descendants of the squatter, and flirtations with a local girl, Mitty, the Colonel grapples with his emotional history. The chapter sets the stage for the intertwining themes of love, loss, and the harshness of pioneer life. As events unfold, the story hints at a complex web of relationships that are still present in the characters’ lives.
