Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Beyond Rope and Fence" by David Grew is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book tells a poignant story about the experiences of wild horses on the Canadian prairies, particularly focusing on a young mare named Queen and her journey of love, loss, and survival. The narrative explores themes of freedom, the relationship between humans and animals, and the harsh realities of life on the plains. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the Alberta prairies during autumn, illustrating the natural beauty and the lifestyle of ranch horses. It introduces the main character, a buckskin mare, and her young foal, Queen, who is blissfully unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. As the narrative progresses, the foal's innocence is shattered when the ranchers round up the horses for branding, an act that elicits fear and traumatic responses in both the mare and her foal. The tension increases as they face capture, highlighting the emotional bond between Queen and her mother amidst the brutality of human intervention in nature.
