Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Flockmaster of Poison Creek" by George W. Ogden is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around John Mackenzie, a disillusioned schoolteacher who abandons his profession in search of wealth and adventure in the sheeplands of the West. The novel explores themes such as ambition, the quest for freedom, and the contrasts between rural existence and societal norms, as Mackenzie encounters not only the physical challenges of the land but also the complexities of human relationships in a harsh environment. The opening portion of the book introduces John Mackenzie as he embarks on a journey to Poison Creek, driven by a desire to become a flockmaster. He reflects on his previous life, perceiving the allure of the sheep industry amidst the disdain he faced for his educational endeavors. Upon reaching a small cabin, he encounters Mrs. Carlson, a woman chained by her abusive husband, Swan Carlson. This moment galvanizes Mackenzie's sense of justice and leads to a confrontation with Swan, revealing the dark underbelly of this pastoral life. As the narrative unfolds, the struggle for personal freedom and moral integrity emerges as key tensions in Mackenzie's transformation from a meek schoolteacher to a determined man fighting against oppression.
