| Summary |
"Slim Evans and His Horse Lightning" by Graham M. Dean is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It follows the character Slim Evans, a cowboy who embarks on a journey prompted by a mysterious letter from an acquaintance in trouble. Alongside his trusty horse, Lightning, Slim finds himself drawn into a conflict involving cattle rustlers and the rugged life of the western frontier. The opening of the story introduces Slim as he trudges through the rugged Cajons, reflecting on a cryptic letter that calls him to assist a friend in a nearby region plagued by chaos. After reaching a vantage point, Slim contemplates the letter's implications and the potential dangers that may await him. Just as he prepares to set up camp, the sudden sounds of gunfire pull him into an immediate crisis, as he rushes to aid another cowboy being ambushed. This sets the stage for a gripping tale of adventure and loyalty, as Slim's quest intertwines with themes of friendship, bravery, and the challenges of life on the range.
