| Summary | “A Cathcart or a Riggs?” by Roy Norton is a short story written in the early 20th century, likely in the 1920s. This narrative unfolds in a rough mining town in the American West, showcasing themes of personal identity, social reform, and interpersonal relationships. The story revolves around the enigmatic character Pearl Brown, her associations with the townsfolk, and the contrast between her and Horace Ring, who aspires to reform the community through journalism. The plot centers on Pearl Brown, a strong-willed woman who owns and operates the Alamo, an entertainment venue in the frontier town of Murdock. After a series of confrontations and misunderstandings with Horace Ring, the town’s reform-minded editor, the two eventually navigate their enmity into unexpected territory, revealing their deeper motivations and histories. As Pearl’s past intertwines with Ring’s aspirations, the story unfolds through a mix of brawls, social commentary, and relational dynamics, ultimately culminating in Pearl’s transformation and reconciliation with her identity. Ring's journey also reflects the challenges of standing up for one's beliefs, leading to a dramatic confrontation that changes the course of their lives. The resolution highlights themes of redemption and understanding, as both characters move towards a new chapter in their lives together, symbolizing change within themselves and their community.
