Cavanagh, Forest Ranger

Cavanagh, Forest Ranger by Hamlin Garland is the story of Lee Virginia Wetherford in the new West and the various cowboys and shenanigans she meets with in Sulphur City. Excerpt: «Lee Virginia Wetherford began her return journey into the mountain West with exultation. From the moment she opened her car window that August morning in Nebraska, the plain called to her, sustained her illusions. It was all quite as big, as tawny, as she remembered it—fit arena for the epic deeds in which her father had been a leader bold and free. Her memories of Roaring Fork and its people were childish and romantic.»
