Summary "The Story of Wool" by Sara Ware Bassett is a children's adventure tale written in the early 20th century. The novel follows young Donald Clark and his father, Mr. Clark, as they embark on a journey from their home in Boston to the family-owned Crescent Ranch in Idaho, discovering the intricacies of sheep-raising along the way. This story not only delves into the practical aspects of wool production but also introduces a cast of characters, particularly the enigmatic Sandy McCulloch, who plays a significant role in the ranch's operations. At the start of the story, Donald is drawn into the mystery of an unexpected telegram from Sandy McCulloch that prompts he and his father to visit the ranch they have never seen. With a mix of excitement and trepidation, they embark on their journey westward, where Donald learns about ranch life, the importance of sheep care, and the relationships between the ranch hands. The narrative introduces themes of adventure, growth, and responsibility as Donald adjusts to the challenges and realities of life on the range, especially after he faces an unexpected encounter with a bear while alone in their camp, showcasing both his bravery and the bond with Sandy.
