Summary "Trail's End" by George W. Ogden is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book begins with a depiction of the desolation of the Kansas prairie, reflecting the struggles of pioneers and settlers who have come to tame the unforgiving land. The central character, Calvin Morgan, is introduced as a hopeful traveler who intends to establish himself in the area, driven by a belief in its agricultural potential despite its grim history. The opening of the novel details Morgan's journey through this unwelcoming terrain, where he encounters a "bone man" who shares tales of the many failed settlers who once sought fortune but instead left only bones behind. As Morgan makes his way to the town of Ascalon, he becomes increasingly aware of the town’s notorious reputation filled with vice and lawlessness. The narrative presents a stark contrast between Morgan's optimism and the harsh reality surrounding him, setting the stage for his struggles against the oppressive nature of the town and its darkly humorous cast of characters, including the new city marshal, Seth Craddock. Morgan's journey not only reflects his quest for a better life but also highlights the persistent challenge of transformation in a land littered with the remains of broken dreams.
