Summary "Cattle-Ranch to College: The True Tale of a Boy's Adventures in the Far West" by Russell Doubleday is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative recounts the authentic experiences of a boy growing up in the American West, highlighting his various adventures, trials, and the lifestyle of that era, particularly concerning cattle ranching and the interaction with Native Americans. The opening portion of the book introduces a frontier town called Bismarck, where a cattleman named Harry Hodson warns the townspeople of an impending attack by a group of hostile Indians. As the men prepare for possible conflict, the narrative explores the dynamics of frontier life, the sense of urgency among the inhabitants, and the discussion among ranchers regarding the threat posed by native tribes. Characters such as Sheriff Mackenzie emerge as leaders during the crisis, and we see the interaction between adults and their children, including young boys John and Ben Worth, who are depicted as resourceful and familiar with the harsh realities of frontier existence. Through a blend of suspense and historical context, the opening sets the stage for a compelling tale of courage and adventure in a rapidly changing landscape.
