| Summary | "The Blood of the Conquerors" by Harvey Fergusson is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Ramon Delcasar, a young Mexican man contending with societal prejudice against his heritage, as he navigates love, ambition, and the complexities of his family's past. The narrative explores themes of identity, belonging, and the clash between old-world tradition and the encroaching modernity of America. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to Ramon as he takes a train journey, caught between his memories of a simpler life and his observations of the affluent women passengers that captivate him. His experience highlights his internal struggles with feelings of inferiority and longing, particularly when he notices a beautiful woman, Julia Roth, who later becomes a pivotal character in his life. The beginning also delves into Ramon's familial lineage, emphasizing his connection to the aristocratic Delcasar family, and sets the stage for his desire to reclaim his family's former glory while grappling with personal and cultural conflicts in a rapidly changing America.
