| Summary | "The Ranchman" by Charles Alden Seltzer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Quinton Taylor, a rugged character navigating his return to his hometown of Dawes, amid various dramatic situations. The narrative sets a landscape of a young town brimming with ambition and conflict, hinting at larger themes of loyalty, deception, and resilience in the face of adversity. At the start of the novel, the scene unfolds aboard a hot Pullman train crossing the desert landscape toward Dawes. Taylor struggles with discomfort in ill-fitting clothes, hinting at his background as a cowboy, while he observes fellow passengers, including a girl named Marion Harlan and two men, Carrington and Parsons, who appear to have ulterior motives regarding the town. Taylor's instincts kick in when he overhears their intentions to "own Dawes," stirring feelings of protectiveness for his hometown. As the train approaches its destination, tensions rise with the introduction of a train robbery, where Taylor reveals his true nature by intervening heroically, solidifying his role in a story interwoven with personal stakes and emerging conflicts.
