"Bonanza: A Story of the Outside" by Ernest G. Henham is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around the coming-of-age of Rupert (Rupe) Petrie, a young man raised in the Canadian wilderness, who is drawn into a quest for hidden gold and the truth of his family’s past. Major themes likely include adventure, survival, identity, betrayal, and the allure of wealth. The opening of the book introduces Rupert at his isolated homestead near the Yellow Sands River, where he lives with his reserved father and interacts closely with the local Cree community, especially a spirited Indian girl named Akshelah. Following his father’s mysterious warnings and sudden death, Rupert is thrust into a mystery involving gold, a stolen map, and a sinister character named Redpath. As Rupert grapples with loss, new responsibilities, and betrayal, he begins to learn about the outside world beyond Yellow Sands, including the dangers posed by Redpath and his associate Olaffson. The narrative then shifts to Rupert’s journey into bustling frontier communities, where he forges alliances—with the loyal MacCaskill and his beloved Akshelah—while confronting violent adversaries and new social realities. The early chapters establish a tale of adventure, self-discovery, and pursuit, set against the rich backdrop of Canada’s northwestern wilderness and the fevered atmosphere of gold-hunting.
