Guy Rivers, first of the Border Romances by
Simms, published in 1834. It deals with the outlawry in northern Georgia during the gold rush of the 1820s.
Ralph Colleton, who loves his cousin Edith, is driven from their home by his uncle, because he is penniless. On the road, he is wounded by a highwayman but he is aided by the backwoodsman Mark Forrester and nursed by Lucy Munro, whose father Wat is a member of the outlaw band led by Guy Rivers, Ralph's assailant. Rivers is really Edward Creighton, a brilliant lawyer turned desperado because of his failure to win social and political advancement and because of his rejection by Edith. Ralph participates in a battle between the outlaws and the state militia, and further incurs the enmity of Rivers, who had originally been jealous of Edith's love for him. In an attempt to kill Ralph, Rivers and Munro mistakenly kill Forrester. They engineer Ralph's arrest for the crime, and nearly gain a conviction. Munro, at the behest of his daughter, confesses before dying as a result of a scrape with the sheriff. Ralph is cleared; Rivers, captured, commits suicide; and Edith, having obtained her father's consent, weds Ralph, taking the orphaned Lucy into their home.
