Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sundown Slim" by Henry Herbert Knibbs is a novel written in the early 20th century. This literary work, set in the rugged landscapes of Arizona, follows the life and adventures of the main character, Sundown Slim, a drifter and aspiring cook with a penchant for poetry and humor. The narrative explores themes of friendship, resilience, and the unique camaraderie found in the lives of cowboys and itinerant workers. The opening portion introduces Sundown Slim and sets the stage for his journey as he disembarks from a freight train in the small town of Antelope. After escaping from a locked boxcar, he encounters a friendly cowboy who informs him that job opportunities are scarce in the area—but he could possibly find work as a cook at a local hotel. Throwing himself into the life of an itinerant cook, Sundown is motivated by the hope of earning a living while navigating the challenges of his past. Through vivid descriptions and lively dialogue, the story establishes Slim's character as humorous yet earnest, and opens up a tapestry of potential adventures and misadventures in the untamed West.
