Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Settling of the Sage" by Hal G. Evarts is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on the struggles of cattle ranchers in the American West as they navigate the encroachment of settlers on their land, weaving a story of conflict, partnerships, and changing values. The protagonist, a range dweller named Bill Harris, seeks to reclaim his family's ranch while grappling with the transitional dynamics between ranching and farming. The opening of the book introduces a lone rider on a pinto horse who reflects on the harsh realities of the range as he encounters remnants of a time gone by. This rider, Bill Harris, is on a journey that intertwines with the legacy of his family's ranch, the Three Bar brand, now headed by Billie Warren, the daughter of his father's erstwhile partner. The complex relationship between these two characters unfolds as they confront the imminent threat of squatters and changing lifestyles in the West. The story sets the stage for an exploration of perseverance amidst the impending transformation of their world, presenting themes of loyalty, rivalry, and the struggle for survival amid shifting cultural landscapes.
