Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sawtooth Ranch" by B. M. Bower is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Brit Hunter and his partner Frank Johnson, who manage a struggling cattle ranch in Idaho. As the narrative unfolds, themes of loneliness, ambition, and the challenges of ranch life emerge, alongside the arrival of Brit's daughter, Lorraine, who has grown up far away from her father's rugged world. The opening of "Sawtooth Ranch" establishes a vivid landscape of the ranching life along Quirt Creek, marked by both its beauty and hardships. Readers meet Brit, who reflects on his past life, including the departure of his wife, and the everyday struggles of maintaining a small ranch amidst the expansive land dominated by the much larger Sawtooth Cattle Company. The chapter introduces Lorraine, who yearns for the adventurous life she has imagined in movies, contrasting sharply with the reality of ranch life she ultimately discovers, revealing a complex interplay of dreams versus reality as she seeks connection with her father after years of estrangement.
