Summary "Despair's Last Journey" by David Christie Murray is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Paul Armstrong, a solitary man who has just arrived at a remote station in the Rocky Mountains, appearing out of place in his formal attire. As he settles into his melancholic isolation, Paul's internal struggles become evident, hinting at themes of despair, memory, and self-reflection. The opening of the novel introduces Paul as he arrives at the secluded Beaver Tail station, laden with baggage that symbolically represents his turbulent past. He finds solace in the wilderness, attempting to escape from his previous life's failures and regrets. As he prepares to camp under the vast skies, his introspection reveals a profound sense of loss and despair regarding his relationship with his family and his own perceived shortcomings. The narrative weaves between his immediate actions in establishing camp and flashbacks that illustrate the deep emotional weight he carries, setting the stage for a journey into his psyche as he grapples with his existence and the ghosts of his past.
