| Summary |
"Wild West" by Bertrand W. Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. The story is set against the backdrop of the American West, focusing on characters immersed in the cattle industry and the challenges they face on the rugged frontier. The main character, Robin Tyler, is introduced as a young cowboy on a quest for a specific wild horse named Red Mike, highlighting his adventurous spirit and connection to the land. The beginning of the novel establishes the tone and setting of the Wild West through Robin's pursuit of the elusive horse and his keen observations of the environment around him. After successfully capturing Red Mike, Robin's conflict with cattle rustlers begins to take shape as he witnesses shady dealings involving illegal branding and theft of livestock. As he navigates this tense atmosphere, he also encounters Ivy Mayne, whom he has feelings for, as well as others whose intentions might not align with his values. Overall, the opening portion sets up a narrative filled with personal stakes, moral dilemmas, and the pursuit of justice in a lawless land, laying the groundwork for the unfolding drama that is to come.
