E-text prepared by Graeme Mackreth, Suzanne Shell, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Trail Horde" by Charles Alden Seltzer is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the American West, the story follows Kane Lawler, a rancher dealing with the complexities of morality, loyalty, and the business of cattle ranching in the face of shifting allegiances and ethical dilemmas. Central to the narrative are themes involving Lawler's relationship with his mother, his feelings for Ruth Hamlin, and the tension created by characters like Gary Warden and Joe Hamlin, who threaten his world and values. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Kane Lawler, who is preparing to ship cattle while grappling with the implications of his family's reputation and local corruption. The opening chapter provides a glimpse into the life of ranching, the tensions with neighbors, particularly involving the deceitful Warden, and Lawler's struggle to uphold his integrity amidst the challenges posed by cattle rustling and his feelings for Ruth Hamlin, the schoolteacher. The interactions between characters set the stage for conflict, drawing readers into a narrative that examines the interplay of personal ethics and ranching culture in the evolving landscape of the West.
