Synopsis

A Man in the Open is a novel written by Roger S. Pocock and published in 1912. The story follows the life of a man named John Gavot, who is a cowboy in the American West. Gavot is a skilled horseman and a tough, independent individual who loves the freedom of the open range. The novel begins with Gavot working on a ranch in Montana, where he meets and falls in love with a young woman named Mary. However, their relationship is complicated by Gavot's commitment to the cowboy lifestyle and his reluctance to settle down. As the story progresses, Gavot faces a number of challenges, including a dangerous encounter with a group of outlaws and a devastating natural disaster. Through it all, he remains true to his values and his love for the open country. A Man in the Open is a classic Western novel that captures the spirit of the American frontier. It is a tale of adventure, romance, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. Pocock's vivid descriptions of the landscape and the characters make this a compelling read for fans of the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Except the Bear, who is no more, the characters appearing in this volume wish me to say that their breaches of etiquette, homicides, etc., are all original sins. Their infirmities of body, soul, and spirit are their own, not mimicry of yours, not a caricature of your friend, your acquaintance, of your second-hand acquaintance, or anybody you have heard about, or even of some mere celebrity. If we hold up a mirror, it is to human nature, not to you. The characters wish me to tell you that they are all Imaginary Persons, and therefore very sensitive. The persons of a drama are protected by footlights, by the stage doorkeeper, not to mention grease paint and scalps by an eminent artiste; but the characters in a novel are thrust defenseless into a rude world, with many reporters about. In a page fright, worse even than stage fright, their only comfort is that absence of body which is their alternative to your great gift, presence of mind. So they make their bow under assumed names. There we come to the point. The proper names were all dealt out to worldly grasping persons, and not one was left unclaimed. The name department is like a cloak-room when the guests have departed, a train from which all passengers have alighted, an office on Christmas
