| 520 | _a"By Order of the Company" by Mary Johnston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in the early 17th century during the colonial era of Virginia, focusing on themes of love, conflict, and adventure. The main character, Ralph Percy, finds himself navigating the complexities of life as a soldier and now a husband, amid rising tensions with Indigenous peoples and the looming threat of Spanish forces. At the start of the story, Ralph Percy reflects on his home in Virginia and the stillness of the landscape at dusk. As he engages in a conversation with his friend, John Rolfe, they discuss the arrival of a ship bringing women to the colony and the implications it holds. The atmosphere shifts from light-hearted banter to a more serious tone as Ralph considers the native peoples’ relationships with the colonists. He is soon swept into a whirlwind of events that lead him to a hasty marriage to a mysterious woman, Jocelyn Leigh. Their initial interaction is tinged with conflict, loyalty, and the strong will of both characters, setting the stage for their tumultuous journey. This opening portion introduces readers to the intricate world of colonial America, where both personal and political stakes run high. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
