The Duke Of Chimney Butte by George W. Ogden
"The Duke of Chimney Butte" by G. W. Ogden is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on a young peddler named Jeremiah Lambert, who, in his quest for success selling a multi-purpose kitchen tool called the "All-in-One," finds himself in the rugged and unforgiving landscape of the Bad Lands. Faced with numerous challenges and the unwelcoming nature of the land, his journey soon intertwines with a colorful
cast of characters, as he gradually earns the title of "Duke" and makes a name for himself. The opening of the book introduces Jeremiah Lambert as he struggles to sell his wares while navigating difficult terrain on a damaged bicycle. His hopes seem low as he faces rejection, but fate intervenes when he encounters a group of cowboys in a camp. His charm and the promise of his product eventually win them over, leading to a humorous scene where he demonstrates his bicycle amidst their antics. After impressively riding an outlaw horse named Whetstone, he earns the respect of the cowboys and sparks a series of events that will shape his identity in this wild land. The story sets the stage for Lambert's transformation from a flatland peddler to a recognized figure in the harsh yet vibrant life of the West. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
