The opening of the book introduces the reader to a lively camp setting in the shadow of the Kicking Horse Pass, where a group of travelers are enjoying a picturesque evening. Amidst the laughter and camaraderie, a stranger arrives—a seemingly melancholic individual who declares himself a "busted ex-Texan."
