Summary "The Coming of the Law" by Charles Alden Seltzer is a Western novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces Kent Hollis, the son of a deceased cattle rancher, who arrives in the lawless town of Dry Bottom to claim his inheritance while facing off against the oppressive local cattlemen's association led by the unscrupulous Dunlavey. Hollis's journey revolves around themes of justice and law, as he seeks to restore order to the land his father fought for. At the start of the novel, Hollis arrives in Dry Bottom during a train stop, feeling out of place in the dusty, desolate town filled with saloons and rough cowboys. His first encounter with a local woman in distress quickly escalates as he intervenes when she is harassed by a brutal man. This altercation sets the stage for Hollis's character as a defender of the vulnerable and hints at the larger conflicts he will engage in. The opening sets up a mixture of personal conflict and socio-political struggles, establishing Hollis’s determination to confront the challenges posed by both the lawless environment and the memory of his father's fight against corruption.
