About This Book

A western tale follows an established cattle outfit as it confronts modern pressures from incoming homesteaders and dry-farmers, forcing owners to adapt by moving herds, improving stock, and planting alfalfa while younger hands pursue land claims to block syndicate schemes. Episodes alternate ranch labor and local skirmishes over water, grazing and shacks, with the arrival of a colony, legal maneuvering, and personal entanglements involving an outsider who studies plats, a plain-speaking woman reformer, a young cowpuncher, and a romantic element around a woman named Rosemary. The narrative examines the slow, inexorable change of frontier life and the practical and moral choices it demands.
