| Summary |
"The Pathless Trail" by Arthur O. Friel is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around three men—Roderick McKay, Meredith Knowlton, and Timothy Ryan—as they venture into the Amazon jungle to explore and potentially locate a man named David Dawson Rand, whose whereabouts have been unknown for five years. Their journey introduces them to the local people, the unique landscape, and, ominously, the dangers lurking within. At the start of the book, the trio arrives at a small town called Remate de Males, unsure about their surroundings but eager for adventure. They interact with the locals—both curious and suspicious—and begin to understand the complexities of their mission. Rand’s elusive existence is tied to a testament that grants him a large fortune if he is found alive, leading the men deeper into the jungle where strange occurrences hint at the untamed wilderness ahead. The opening sets a tone of camaraderie mixed with foreboding, as the men prepare to face the unknown paths that lie before them. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
