Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Man-Size" by William MacLeod Raine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds on the American frontier, focusing on the conflict between whiskey traders and Native Americans, and centers on an impetuous young woman named Jessie McRae, also known as Sleeping Dawn, who seeks to protect her people from the ruinous effects of alcohol. At the start of the novel, Sleeping Dawn is introduced as she surveys a camp of whiskey traders, filled with indignation at their destructive presence. Driven by passion and a sense of duty to her people, she takes action against the traders, ultimately leading to a confrontation with Tom Morse, one of the traders who initially captures her. The tension between them sets the stage for the wider conflicts that will unfold throughout the story, as the narrative explores overarching themes such as justice, identity, and the clash of cultures on the lawless frontier.
