520 _a"Delaware Tom; or, The Traitor Guide" by Jos. E. Badger is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds during the mid-1850s, focusing on a wagon train of emigrants making their arduous journey through hostile territories. Central to the narrative are key characters like Clara Calhoun, a strong-willed young woman; Dusky Dick, the ambiguous guide with nefarious intentions; and Tom Maxwell, a seasoned guide who seems to reside firmly on the side of the emigrants. The beginning of the novel sets the tone with a typical scene from the Old West, where the wagon train moves slowly across a desolate landscape. Clara Calhoun's disdain for her fellow traveler, Dusky Dick, quickly escalates, revealing tensions within the group. Initially, Clara expresses distrust towards Dusky Dick, suspecting his loyalty, especially after overhearing a threat he makes towards her. The chapter closes with the suggestion of impending danger as old guide Tom Maxwell grows vigilant, holding suspicions of Dusky Dick's true motives, laying the groundwork for the conflicts and peril to come as the emigrants face both internal strife and external threats from Indian tribes.
