Synopsis

The Angel of the Gila: A Tale of Arizona is a novel written by Cora Marsland and published in 1911. The story is set in the American Southwest during the late 19th century and follows the adventures of a young woman named Mary Standish. Mary is a nurse who travels to Arizona to care for her sick brother, but she soon finds herself embroiled in a dangerous conflict between two rival factions. On one side are the wealthy ranchers who control the land and the water supply, and on the other are the impoverished homesteaders who have been driven off their land by the ranchers. Mary becomes involved with the homesteaders and their leader, a mysterious figure known only as the Angel of the Gila. Together, they fight to reclaim the land and water that rightfully belong to them.The novel is a thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and social justice, and it offers a vivid portrayal of life in the American West during a time of great change and conflict. Marsland's writing is both evocative and engaging, and her characters are well-drawn and memorable. The Angel of the Gila is a classic of Western literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the American Southwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
