| Summary |
"The Rustler of Wind River" by George W. Ogden is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around a tense conflict between ranchers and homesteaders in a rugged, frontier setting, focusing on two principal characters: Saul Chadron, a powerful cattleman, and Alan Macdonald, a determined homesteader. The story explores themes of power, justice, and morality within the harsh realities of the American West. The opening portion of the book introduces a mysterious stranger who has come down from the mountains and is engaged in a dubious negotiation with Saul Chadron. Chadron seeks the stranger's help to intimidate and possibly remove a homesteader named Alan Macdonald, who poses a threat to his cattle empire. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the characters and their motivations, hinting at the deeper complexities of the characters' pasts and the imminent conflicts between the cattlemen and the encroaching settlers. This introduction sets the stage for a story filled with tension and intrigue as the rivalry unfolds against the backdrop of the West's unforgiving landscape.
