| Summary |
"The Fire Flower" by Jackson Gregory is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows John Sheldon, an adventurous and somewhat reckless man who has set off into the uncharted wilderness of the Sasnokee-keewan after experiencing betrayal and heartbreak in his previous life. As Sheldon navigates this fierce wilderness, he becomes enveloped in solitude and the mysteries it presents, including the remnants of those who came before him and the beginnings of a strange new chapter in his life. At the start of the book, Sheldon is on an expedition into the dense and dangerous wilderness, having mistakenly taken a wrong turn. He embodies a spirit of independence and is determined to leave behind thoughts of his past troubles, including betrayal by a close friend over a woman. Gradually, Sheldon discovers two human skeletons in the wild, raising eerie questions about their fates, and he is left to ponder the dangers and secrets that linger within the Sasnokee-keewan. However, his solitude is interrupted when he encounters Paula, a mysterious girl clothed in a bearskin, who appears to have been raised in these wild woods. In this intense opening, themes of survival, the human connection to nature, and the drawing power of both solitude and companionship are intricately woven together, setting the stage for an intriguing tale of adventure and discovery.
