Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Range Boss" by Charles Alden Seltzer is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the American West, the story revolves around the character Rex Randerson, a range boss who becomes embroiled in the lives of the Harkness family as they manage their ranch, the Flying W. The themes of resilience, romance, and the rugged beauty of the frontier create a narrative filled with challenges and interpersonal tensions. The opening of the book introduces Rex Randerson as he observes a buckboard carrying newcomers, including Ruth Harkness, the new owner of the Flying W, as they arrive in his territory. As Randerson grapples with the presence of city-dwellers in what he considers a wild land, he witnesses a mishap with the buckboard attempting to cross a treacherous river. His decision to intervene leads to an encounter with Ruth, setting the stage for their developing relationship amidst the complexities of ranch life and local rivalries. This opening portion establishes not only the main characters but also the conflict they face in adapting to their respective roles while navigating their evolving dynamics.
