Summary "The Sheriff's Son" by William MacLeod Raine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around John Beaudry, a sheriff facing imminent danger from a gang of rustlers, as he navigates the perils of frontier life while caring for his young son, Royal. The narrative combines elements of action, family, and the struggle between law and lawlessness, presenting a vivid portrayal of the American West during a tumultuous era. The opening of the novel introduces John Beaudry and his son as they set up camp near Big Creek. The narrative establishes Beaudry's tender relationship with his son while revealing his looming concerns about his adversaries, particularly the Rutherford gang, who vow revenge after Beaudry's actions in self-defense. This tension escalates as the story transitions to the complexities of Beaudry's dual role as a father and a sheriff, leading to an intense confrontation with his enemies that not only places him in danger but also threatens his son's safety. The dynamics within this opening scene set the stage for the unfolding drama and the moral dilemmas that Beaudry will face in his fight for survival and the protection of his child.
