Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Range Dwellers" by B. M. Bower is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Ellis Carleton, the son of a wealthy rancher, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and growth after his father sends him to work at the family's ranch in Montana. Ellis initially struggles with the transition from his privileged life to the demanding world of ranching amidst feuds and uncharted territories. At the start of the novel, we meet Ellis on his 25th birthday when his father confronts him about his reckless lifestyle and presents him with a ticket to Montana, where he must take on ranch work. As Ellis travels to his new life, he grapples with feelings of resentment towards his father's choices and the unfamiliarity of the rugged landscape. Upon arriving in Montana, Ellis learns about the long-standing feud between his father and a rival rancher, King. The opening chapters introduce key elements such as family legacy, the challenges of ranch life, and the budding conflict that will unfold, especially as Ellis encounters Beryl King, the rancher's daughter, setting the stage for a complex relationship that intertwines with the overarching themes of identity and reconciliation.
