Summary "Mavericks" by William MacLeod Raine is a novel set in the early 20th century that explores themes of lawlessness and frontier justice. The story revolves around a group of settlers and ranchers in the American West, where the tension between cattle ranchers and homesteaders creates a backdrop for conflict and drama. Central to the narrative are Phyllis Sanderson, a spirited young woman caught in the midst of these disputes, and Keller, a mysterious newcomer who becomes embroiled in the region's troubles due to suspicions of rustling. The opening of "Mavericks" introduces readers to Phyllis as she navigates her complex feelings toward Tom Dixon, her beau, and her father’s fierce attitude toward outsiders. She witnesses Tom's youthful bravado in a playful encounter that swiftly turns serious. Phyllis's frustration with Tom leads to her dismissal of him, but her world is soon shaken by the arrival of Keller, a character hated by her father. As tensions rise, Phil, Phyllis's brother, and Brill Healy, a ranchman, inform her about a rustler branding a calf, leading to a confrontation that tests loyalties and moral boundaries. Phyllis's impulsiveness and strong spirit suggest a future filled with challenges, as the stage is set for the struggles ahead amidst unresolved tensions in the community.
