Harney is an adventure story written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows David Lannarck, a circus midget who yearns for a more peaceful life away from the constant scrutiny and bullying he faces due to his size.

At the start of the story, set against the backdrop of a circus in Cheyenne during the Great Depression, readers are introduced to David's struggles with his size and the cruel attention it attracts. The opening sequence features a comical yet dangerous chase between David and a larger bully, showcasing his quick wit and resourcefulness. After the chaotic encounter, he befriends Sam Welborn, who proposes a partnership that involves caring for bear cubs and eventually moving to a quieter, ranching life. The events set in motion a series of adventures that will see the two men navigating the challenges and dangers of ranch life, alongside their pursuit of personal freedom and fulfillment.
