Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Firebrand" Trevison by Charles Alden Seltzer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character of "Brand" Trevison, a rugged and skilled cowboy who is grappling with the changing landscape of the American West as railroads and newcomers threaten traditional ranch life. The narrative sets up a conflict between Trevison, who exhibits both physical prowess and a strong will, and the manipulative businessman Corrigan, hinting at themes of power, conflict, and personal honor. At the start of the tale, readers are introduced to Trevison as he rides his impressive black horse, Nigger, near the newly established town of Manti. The narrative unfolds with an aura of tension as Trevison navigates his disdain for the encroaching development brought by the railroad, while displaying his remarkable riding abilities. A chance encounter leads to a confrontation with Corrigan, escalating into a physical fight fueled by resentment and pride, which sets the stage for an ongoing battle of wills. The opening chapter establishes not only the fierce independence of Trevison but also introduces Rosalind Benham, who finds herself caught between admiration for the powerful cowboy and her family's business interests, hinting at a budding romantic tension.
