| Summary | "The Missing Pocket-Book; Or, Tom Mason's Luck" by Harry Castlemon is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of a tense standoff between cattlemen and farmers in drought-stricken Texas, the story features the character Tom Mason, who is a young boy searching for his luck among the cattlemen. The novel explores themes of survival, conflict, and loyalty while revealing the struggles faced by those in the livestock industry as they battle both nature and each other. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a dramatic situation: a clash between desperate cattlemen, led by John Chisholm, and farmers who are prepared to defend their fields against an impending invasion of starving cattle. As tension escalates, Tom Mason—along with his friends Elam Storm and Carlos Burton—finds himself caught between the mounting conflict and the historic backdrop of cattle drives in Texas. The narrative begins to weave elements of their backstory while hinting at Tom's personal quest, setting up a rich tale of adventure, risk, and the defining moments in a young man's life amid the backdrop of a harsh and unforgiving land.
