| Summary | "The One-Way Trail: A Story of the Cattle Country" by Ridgwell Cullum is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story is set in the rugged cattle country of Montana and revolves around the lives and relationships of cowboys, ranchers, and the complexities that arise when love and ambition collide. The main characters introduced include Jim Thorpe, a thoughtful foreman with a tragic past, and Dan McLagan, the brash, optimistic ranch owner who has grand plans for his cattle empire. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jim Thorpe and Dan McLagan as they discuss a successful round-up on McLagan's ranch, the "AZ's." While McLagan is full of ambitious plans for expansion, Jim possesses a more cautious demeanor, reflecting on his past failures and ambitions that were thwarted by misfortune. Their conversation hints at deeper tensions, particularly as Jim is grappling with his feelings for Eve Marsham, a local woman, and the rivalry with his cousin Will Henderson, who also has eyes on her. Throughout this initial chapter, the stage is set for themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the harsh realities of life in the cattle industry, hinting at a backdrop of impending conflict and emotional turmoil.
