Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Hopalong Cassidy" by Clarence Edward Mulford is a Western novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the rough and untamed landscape of the American Southwest and revolves around a group of cowboys, particularly focusing on the character Hopalong Cassidy. The novel explores themes of law, order, and the rugged morality of frontier life as it depicts the tensions between rival ranchers. The opening portion of "Hopalong Cassidy" introduces a hostile environment fraught with danger, where gunmen and cowboys roam freely. The narrative shifts between two plotlines, showcasing Antonio, a cunning but cowardly Mexican, plotting mischief against Hopalong and his outfit, and the brave Mary Meeker, who aspires to explore the range despite her father's warnings. As tensions rise and conflicts over cattle territories loom, the characters' motivations and the underlying threads of violence begin to unravel, setting the stage for inevitable confrontations.
