| Summary | "Lin McLean" by Owen Wister is a novel set in the late 19th century that immerses readers in the American West, exploring the life of cow-punchers and their experiences. The narrative centers around the character Lin McLean, a young cowboy who dreams of adventure and variety beyond the confines of his ranching life. As he navigates his aspirations, the story delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the pursuit of love and personal fulfillment against the rugged backdrop of the Western frontier. The opening of "Lin McLean" introduces us to the protagonist, a 22-year-old cow-puncher, awakening in a Wyoming cow camp during summer. Eager for a change and motivated by a desire for adventure, Lin decides to leave the camp, spurred by a sense of restlessness despite the camaraderie of the ranch work. He embarks on a journey towards Fort Washakie to collect his wages, meeting various characters along the way, including a group of cowboys and a foreman who reflect the humor and the hardships of frontier life. This opening sets the stage for Lin's exploration of romantic relationships and the broader world beyond the ranch as he grapples with his identity and aspirations.
