| Summary | "The Nightriders' Feud" by Walter C. McConnell is a novel written in the early 20th century. It tells the story of John Redmond, a young engineer who seeks adventure and an escape from urban life in the wilds of Kentucky. After learning about the brutal murder of his uncle by a group known as the Nightriders, Redmond, adopting the name Jack Wade, is consumed by a thirst for revenge as he sets out to claim his uncle's land and restore justice. The opening of the novel presents John Redmond's life-changing journey after his graduation. The narrative quickly pivots from his aspirations for wealth in the West to a tragic turn of events upon his return home—his uncle's gruesome death at the hands of the Nightriders. As the protagonist grapples with grief and rage, he resolves to avenge his uncle's murder and takes residence in Kentucky, where he encounters Nora Judson, the daughter of a local farmer. Their budding relationship amid the escalating threat from the Nightriders sets the stage for conflict and explores themes of justice, honor, and community ties in a lawless setting.
