520			_a"The Pride of Palomar" by Peter B. Kyne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of heritage, loss, and the poignant beauty of life in old California, particularly through the eyes of its central character, Michael Joseph Farrel, known as Don Mike, who is navigating the aftermath of World War I. The narrative explores his return to California following the tragic news of his father's death and the implications of changing times on traditional ranch life. The opening of the novel introduces us to the elderly Pablo Artelan, the majordomo of Rancho Palomar, who is plagued with anxiety as he waits for Don Mike, who has been away at war. Old Don Miguel Farrel, Pablo’s employer, shows concern for Pablo's state of mind as they discuss the absence of quail during the dry season, which serves as a metaphor for what Don Mike will face upon his return. Soon, a telegram arrives bearing tragic news: Don Mike has died in battle. Yet, unbeknownst to them, Don Mike returns, creating a layered drama steeped in emotional conflicts and rich local color, setting the stage for personal and societal change in a California grappling with its history and future.
