| Summary | "Rod of the Lone Patrol" by H. A. Cody is a novel written in the early 20th century. This coming-of-age story follows a young boy named Rodney ("Rod") Royal, who is taken in by Parson Dan and Mrs. Royal after being found as a baby abandoned on their doorstep. The narrative explores themes of kinship, belonging, and the challenges faced by a child raised outside of conventional circumstances, as well as the acceptance and love he finds in his new home. At the start of the story, the Royals, dealing with their own sorrow from the loss of their son Alec, are intrigued and filled with hope by the arrival of the baby boy, whom they name Rodney. The opening chapters depict their initial reactions to the unexpected addition of the child to their household, as they navigate their emotions and responsibilities. The plot thickens as Rod grows up, faces bullying at school, and starts to understand the implications of his status as a "waif." Captain Josh, a gruff but kind character, also emerges as a significant influence in Rod's life, showcasing a contrast between community sympathy and social prejudice as he defends the boy against bullies and expresses an eagerness to include him in his own life.
