E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "Out of the Depths: A Romance of Reclamation" by Robert Ames Bennet is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against a backdrop of the American West and follows Lafayette Ashton, a wealthy but inexperienced hunter who faces serious personal and societal challenges after a reckless mistake leads him to shoot a yearling calf instead of a deer. The book explores themes of identity, redemption, and the transition between different ways of life, all intertwined with the budding relationship between Ashton and Isobel "Chuckie" Knowles, the spirited daughter of a rancher. At the start of the story, we meet Ashton as he navigates the rugged landscapes of the high mesas, showcasing a contrast between his refined urban background and the raw wilderness of cowboy life. Following a chaotic incident in which he shoots a calf, he encounters ranch hands Knowles and Gowan, who suspect him of wrongdoing. With a humorous yet tense banter, Ashton must fend off accusations while attempting to impress Chuckie, who offers him a glimpse into a world far removed from his privileged upbringing. As the narrative unfolds, Ashton is forced to confront his shortcomings and the reality of his situation, paving the way for potential reclamation not just of his reputation, but of his identity amidst the harshness of life on the range.
