| Summary | "The Coyote" by James Roberts is a Western story written in the early 20th century. It follows the character Rathburn, also known as The Coyote, an outlaw who traverses the arid landscapes of the Southwestern United States while evading law enforcement. The narrative introduces themes of morality and vigilante justice, as Rathburn grapples with his identity as a fugitive and the external forces pursuing him. At the start of the novel, Rathburn discovers a wanted poster offering a reward for him, which heightens his sense of desperation. The opening depicts him contemplating the implications of his outlaw status and demonstrating a complex blend of charm and menace. He interacts with a young boy and a girl on a ranch, revealing his inner turmoil and nuanced character through light-hearted banter and deeper reflections on societal perceptions. As the story unfolds, the tension escalates with Rathburn on the run from lawmen led by Sheriff Judson Brown, highlighting the duality of his existence as he navigates friendship, betrayal, and survival in a lawless land.
