Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Round-Up: A Romance of Arizona" by John Murray and Marion Mills Miller is a novel that appears to draw from the early 20th-century tradition of Western melodrama. The story introduces readers to the life and struggles of a prospector in the barren landscapes of Arizona and Mexico, immersed in themes of adventure, love, and conflict, particularly against the backdrop of tensions with Native Americans. The main character, Dick Lane, embodies the tough, rugged individualism expected of the genre, all while navigating his affections for Echo Allen amidst treacherous circumstances. The opening of the novel sets a vivid scene of desolation and danger as Dick Lane navigates the treacherous Ghost Range, where he reflects on his promise to return home. After a tense encounter with a group of Apaches and an unexpected betrayal from the half-breed Buck McKee, Lane's journey quickly transforms from merely a quest for fortune to a fight for survival. As he faces captivity and torture, the narrative hints at deeper connections to the lives of other ranchers and the ensemble of characters, revealing a rich tapestry of relationships and the moral complexities of loyalty and love. Thus, the beginning establishes not just a personal struggle for Lane, but also a larger, intertwining story of various characters deeply influenced by the harsh realities of frontier life.
