Summary "Midnight" by Rutherford G. Montgomery is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the adventures of a wild black colt named Midnight and a mare named Lady Ebony, exploring their life in the wilderness and the various dangers they face in their natural habitat, including predators and the elements. The narrative promises to evoke a love for nature and animals while following the characters' growth and survival in the wild. The opening of the novel introduces Sam, an old prospector living in a cabin overlooking Shadow Canyon, who has a deep affection for Lady Ebony, a mare that frequents his meadow. As he reflects on his life in the wilderness while observing the local wildlife, he expresses a desire to buy the mare from Major Howard, her owner. The narrative sets the tone for a blend of human and animal experiences, hinting at themes of companionship and the bond between man and nature. Meanwhile, the black mare's story begins as she encounters the wild stallion, showcasing her powerful spirit and hinting at her future life in the untamed world. The opening captivates the reader with vivid descriptions of the landscape and its inhabitants, establishing an empathetic connection to the characters right from the beginning.
