Summary "The Desert Trail" by Dane Coolidge is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a border town amidst the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, primarily focusing on the adventures of two main characters, Bud Hooker and Philip De Lancey. As they navigate the gritty realities of the American-Mexico border, the narrative explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the pursuit of fortune against a volatile landscape. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the lively town of Gadsden, where a cast of characters, including adventurers and refugees, gather amidst the tension of the ongoing Mexican conflict. Hooker and De Lancey, having escaped from dangerous situations in Mexico, arrive in Gadsden with hopes of finding new opportunities. They encounter an old prospector, Henry Kruger, who proposes a risky yet promising mining venture in Mexico, leading them into a web of intrigue involving betrayal, trust, and the pursuit of a lost mine. The opening establishes a rich setting that foreshadows the adventures and challenges the characters will face as they delve deeper into the enigmatic world of mining and Mexican culture.
