Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Louisianna Lou" by William West Winter is a Western novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to the old and changing West, where the character of Ike Brandon, a sheep rancher, embodies the tension between cattlemen and newcomers. The plot revolves around the interactions between Brandon, his granddaughter Marian, and a young man named Louisiana, who is rumored to be a fast gun and finds himself entangled in a deadly feud. The opening of the story sets a vibrant scene at Brandon's ranch, illustrating the idyllic yet harsh environment of the American West as the sun sets over the land. It highlights the arrival of Louisiana, who is warmly received by Marian but frowned upon by her grandfather. This introduction hints at Louisiana’s complex character—a blend of charm and danger—as he becomes a figure of interest for both the innocent Marian and the wary Ike. Furthermore, the prologue foreshadows ensuing conflict involving revenge, love, and the pursuit of fortune, drawing readers into a multi-faceted narrative that promises to explore themes of loyalty, ambition, and the impact of an evolving society.
