Summary "Claim Number One" by George W. Ogden is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the rugged landscape of Wyoming and follows the lives of various land-seekers who are drawn to the town of Comanche with dreams of claiming fertile land. Among the characters introduced are a mix of adventurers, hopefuls, and schemers, each converging in anticipation of the lottery that will determine who gets the coveted Claim Number One. The opening of the book paints a vivid picture of the bustling yet rough town of Comanche, described as the end of the world for many who arrive looking for a fresh start. We are introduced to the town's landscape, including hotels, saloons, and various hopefuls, each with their unique backstories and aspirations. The arrival of a train brings a mix of characters, including the miller's wife and her daughter June, who are seeking a new beginning, along with others like Dr. Warren Slavens and a host of gamblers and dreamers. Set against the backdrop of land lotteries and the chance to claim a piece of the American dream, the narrative hints at the struggles and camaraderie that will unfold as these characters vie for their claim to fortune and a new life.
