Ruggles of Red Gap is a novel written by Harry Leon Wilson, first published in 1915. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the adventures of Marmaduke Ruggles, an English valet who is accidentally left behind by his aristocratic employer while on vacation in the United States. Ruggles finds himself in the small western town of Red Gap, Washington, where he is taken in by a nouveau riche family, the Judsons. As Ruggles adjusts to life in Red Gap, he becomes a beloved member of the community and finds himself embroiled in various misadventures, including a wild west show, a bootlegging operation, and a political campaign. Along the way, he learns about American culture and values, and begins to question his own place in society.The novel is a humorous satire of American society and class distinctions, as seen through the eyes of an outsider. It explores themes of identity, social mobility, and the American dream.
