| Summary | "The Cattle-Baron's Daughter" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Hetty Torrance, the daughter of a wealthy cattle baron, as she grapples with her identity, societal expectations, and burgeoning relationships on the vast prairie of the American West. As the narrative unfolds, readers can expect to explore themes of class conflict, personal ambition, and the changing dynamics of America’s landscape during a period of significant transition. At the start of the novel, Hetty finds herself in a moment of introspection and longing for her home on the prairie while she waits at the Grand Central Depot in New York City. Here, she reflects on a letter from her father, the cattle baron, and her upcoming decision regarding her potential suitor, Captain Jackson Cheyne. An unexpected encounter with Larry Grant, a former comrade from her days on the prairie, sparks a connection that complicates her situation further, challenging her understanding of love and duty. The opening sets the stage for Hetty’s internal struggle as she prepares to confront a life filled with expectations while recalling the freedom and beauty of her past in the untamed West.
