Summary "Going Some" by Rex Beach is a romance novel written during the early 20th century. The structure of the narrative hints at a light-hearted, adventurous storyline, focusing on the lives and relationships of cowboys in the Southwestern United States. The opening chapters introduce a rivalry between two ranches, sparked by the loss of a prized phonograph in a footrace—a contest that now hangs over the heads of the cowboys at the Flying Heart Ranch like a cloud of shame, driving them into a state of melancholy. The central characters include the foreman "Still Bill" Stover and a host of colorful ranch hands, each representing different aspects of ranch culture and camaraderie. The opening of the book sets the scene of the Flying Heart Ranch, showcasing the cowboys as they mourn their loss while conveying their yearning for the past through humorous banter. The characters' responses to the situation establish a blend of pride, frustration, and humor that highlights their close-knit relationships. A subplot involving the arrival of college girls and their interest in the cowboys introduces possible romantic entanglements. As the characters commit to regaining their lost pride, the story builds momentum toward a footrace that promises both conflict and camaraderie, hinting at a blend of romance and adventure set against a backdrop of Western charm.
