Summary |
"Dorothy on a Ranch" by Evelyn Raymond is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Dorothy and her adventures as she embarks on a trip to a Colorado ranch with her friends, Alfaretta and Leslie. The narrative unfolds with themes of friendship, discovery, and the experiences of young people navigating the challenges of travel and personal growth in a vibrant western setting. At the start of the book, Dorothy is traveling aboard the private railroad car of Mr. Dan Ford to his family ranch. She is filled with excitement and a tinge of sadness about leaving her beloved Aunt Betty, who has opted to return home instead of joining her on this adventure. The opening scene is light-hearted, featuring humorous exchanges among the young characters as they pack their belongings and reflect on the journey. During their trip, they are introduced to the idea of ranch life, cowboys, and the conundrums that come with travel—filled with both joy and misadventure—setting the stage for the unfolding narrative. Dorothy's sweet but conflicted emotions about her friendship with her host's family and her upcoming summer at the ranch are evident, establishing emotional stakes that promise a rich exploration of her character development throughout the story.
