Synopsis

Homestead Ranch is a novel written by Elizabeth G. Young and published in 1922. The story is set in the American West and follows the life of a young woman named Mary who inherits a ranch from her grandfather. Mary is determined to make the ranch a success, but she faces many challenges, including harsh weather, financial difficulties, and the prejudices of the local community. Along the way, Mary meets and falls in love with a young man named John, who helps her overcome these obstacles and turn the ranch into a thriving business. The novel explores themes of perseverance, love, and the value of hard work, and provides a vivid portrait of life on the frontier in the early twentieth century.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

Tow that the train had crossed the Rocky Mountains, most of the passengers in the tourist car were becoming bored and restless. The scenery was less absorbing; there was so much of it that even its magnificence had begun to pall! Yet Harriet Ho Uiday was still deeply interested in everything. There were now only a few hours between her and her destination, and she had begun to look at the solitary ranches, wondering whether her brothers would look like them. The train was passing across a seemingly endless desert, through ranges of hills without a sign of life, without water, grass or trees to break the monotony of sand and sagebrush. Once in a great while there appeared a row of buildings that, Harriet decided, must be a town a few boxlike stores, a hotel with an imposing cement block front, a straggling line of cabins, some turf-roofed huts, some tents then abruptly the gray solitude of the desert came into view once more. Harriet thought of the clustering villages along the Connecticut shore the white-and-green houses sheltered by elms, the church spire on the hill. Home eemed suddenly unutterably far away.
