Summary

"The Valley of Gold: A Tale of the Saskatchewan" by David Howarth is a story focused on rivalry and community amid the backdrop of the prairies. Ned Pullar is shown as a powerful player in the community as he embarks on a fierce contest against his rival, Rob McClure. The tension rises quickly when Pullar encounters McClure's group in a pool-room. Instead of fighting, Pullar uses his intelligence to get out of the situation, showing his sharp mind. As the story grows, a hidden connection between Ned and Mary McClure, Rob's daughter, appears. Howarth paints a picture of the struggles in prairie life with strong descriptions of the setting as the threshing season comes around.
