Summary "The Doom Trail" by Arthur D. Howden Smith is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of political intrigue and conflict in the 18th century, focusing on Harry Ormerod, a fugitive from justice and a former supporter of the exiled Stuart cause. Throughout the narrative, themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of personal identity in times of upheaval take center stage as the protagonist navigates various dangers while pursuing justice and redemption. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Harry Ormerod, who finds himself entangled in a violent altercation in London's foggy streets, narrowly escaping capture by the watch before being aided by Robert Juggins, an alderman. The prologue sets a contemplative tone, reflecting on the fate of the Iroquois League and the sweeping changes brought by English settlers. As the narrative progresses, Ormerod, now living in the household of Juggins, learns about the pressing political tensions of the time, including conspiracies against the Crown and the looming threat from a rogue trader, Andrew Murray, who aims to manipulate trade relationships for his gain. Ormerod's journey is marked by personal discovery and the reawakening of his commitment to his homeland, setting the stage for his upcoming challenges in America.
