John Bickers, Dagny and Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D. "Heart of the West [Annotated]" by O. Henry is a collection of short stories set in the American West, crafted in the late 19th century. This work captures the essence and charm of Western life, vividly portraying the ruggedness and romanticism of the frontier. The stories are rich in humor and human emotion, often focusing on the interactions and dynamics between characters such as cowboys and ranch owners, illuminating themes of love, identity, and societal roles. The opening portion of the collection introduces two central characters, Baldy Woods and Webb Yeager, as they engage in a conversation over drinks in a railroad settlement. The dialogue reveals Webb's feelings of inadequacy in his marriage to Santa McAllister, the wealthy cattle queen, and Baldy's advice for him to assert his authority as a man—a 'king'—rather than a 'prince-consort.' Through their banter, the story highlights Webb's struggles with his self-identity and his role within a marriage where his wife is the one handling business matters. As the narrative unfolds, key themes of masculinity, romantic aspiration, and the complexities of relationships emerge, setting the stage for the unfolding tales of the West.
