Summary "Tumbleweeds" by Hal G. Evarts is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the American West, it captures the spirit of the westward expansion and the interactions between settlers and the landscape. The main characters include Joe Hinman, an old settler reflecting on his past, and Donald Carver, a younger man navigating the complexities of the changing land and community dynamics. The opening of the book establishes a sense of nostalgia for the old ways of the West while hinting at the encroaching changes brought on by settlement. It introduces Joe Hinman and Donald Carver as they discuss the challenges and opportunities of the land, particularly focusing on the Cherokee Strip, an area preserved for Native Americans, which is slated to open for settlement. The dialogue between the characters showcases their differing perspectives on progress, ambition, and the future of the frontier, setting the stage for the unfolding story of hardship, ambition, and the American spirit on the cusp of transformation.
