| Summary | "Ridgway of Montana: A story of to-day, in which the hero is also the villain" by William Macleod Raine is a fictional novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Waring Ridgway, a complex character depicted as both a brilliant businessman and a ruthless opponent, set against the backdrop of the burgeoning but gritty mining industry in Montana. The story explores themes of ambition, morality, and the personal relationships that intertwine with business rivalries, particularly focusing on Ridgway's interactions with the beautiful Virginia Balfour. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Waring Ridgway and Virginia Balfour as they engage in a witty and candid conversation about their relationship, revealing her conflicted feelings towards him. Virginia acknowledges that marriage to Ridgway would come with greater opportunities, although it wouldn't be for love. This sets up a rich exploration of their dynamic, with Ridgway characterized as a strong, confident figure who is adept at maneuvering through the cutthroat business landscape, raising questions about morality and ethics in both business and love. As the story progresses, we see the tension between Ridgway's ambition and the consequences of his actions, hinting at internal conflicts that will likely be further explored throughout the narrative.
