Book
The Rainbow Trail
First published 1915
In 1886, a young minister enters the canyon country of northeastern Arizona and southeastern Utah, where people are still living with the consequences of earlier conflicts over religion, family and authority. His own convictions are tested as he encounters communities whose isolation has preserved beliefs and grievances that outsiders do not easily understand.
The story returns to the world of *Riders of the Purple Sage* but shifts attention toward faith, tolerance and the cost of rigid certainty. Against the immense canyon landscape, the minister’s spiritual assumptions become inseparable from his personal loyalties, forcing him to choose between institutional expectations and compassion for the people directly before him.
