"Prairie Flowers" by James B. Hendryx is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of love and adventure set against the backdrop of the American West, featuring characters who navigate their feelings amidst the challenges of ranch life and interpersonal relationships. The main characters introduced include Winthrop Adams Endicott and his wife, Alice, who are reminiscing about past adventures while also dealing with the complex emotions tied to Tex Benton, a cowboy whose past continues to influence their present. The opening of the book reveals a nostalgic exchange between Win and Alice as they reflect on their past experiences in the Montana range, particularly highlighting their connection to Tex, a cowboy who seemingly struggles with his own demons. The couple plans to visit Timber City on their anniversary, where Tex's presence looms large in their memories. As Alice rides out to pick flowers, she realizes the significance of this day, only to find herself in a tense situation concerning Tex, who is embroiled in trouble at the local saloon, leading to a dramatic confrontation with the townsfolk. The stage is set for escalating conflict and rekindled emotions involving unresolved feelings for Tex that complicate the couple's anniversary celebration.
