E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) "The Fighting Shepherdess" by Caroline Lockhart is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Kate, a young girl growing up in the rugged landscape of the American West and her tumultuous relationship with her mother, Jezebel Bain, who runs a notorious roadhouse. As the narrative unfolds, readers are introduced to the challenges Kate faces as she navigates her own identity and interpersonal conflicts, particularly with certain predatory figures in her life. The opening of the book immerses readers in the gritty reality of the Sand Coulee Roadhouse, where a freight wagon's arrival stirs the atmosphere. Kate, a capable and spirited girl of fourteen, is at work unharnessing a horse when her confrontational relationships with both her mother and a menacing man named Pete Mullendore come to the forefront. The situation escalates into a chase that showcases both Kate's fear of Mullendore and her resilience. As she seeks refuge and support, a mysterious sheepherder enters the scene, complicating the dynamics with hints of a deeper exploration of character and community in the rugged Western setting. This opening sets up a tale rich in confrontation, strong female characters, and the struggle for independence against a harsh backdrop.
