The narrative begins with Myles Falworth's early life, detailing his upbringing in the English countryside and the challenges he faces as the son of a disgraced nobleman. His father, Lord Falworth, has been wrongfully accused of treason, and the family lives in obscurity. Determined to restore his family's honor, Myles is sent to Devlen Castle to train as a squire under the guidance of the Earl of Mackworth. Throughout his training, Myles encounters various trials and adversaries, honing his skills in combat and learning the virtues of knighthood.

His background as an artist is evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the dynamic composition of the scenes. "Squire, Men of Iron" is not only a tale of adventure and heroism but also a reflection on the values of loyalty, courage, and justice.

The novel has been praised for its engaging storytelling and historical accuracy, making it a popular choice for readers interested in medieval history and literature. It has also been adapted into various formats, including a 1954 film titled "The Black Shield of Falworth," starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Howard Pyle's contribution to the genre of historical fiction and his influence on subsequent writers and illustrators remain significant, cementing "Squire, Men of Iron" as a classic in American literature.
