Summary "The Free Range" by Elwell Lawrence is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Bud Larkin, a determined sheep rancher trying to navigate the challenges posed by the cattle ranchers, particularly the influential Beef Bissell, who resists Larkin’s plan to bring his sheep to the northern range. The novel hints at themes of survival, ambition, and the territorial disputes between different ranching factions in the American West. At the start of the book, Bud Larkin confronts Beef Bissell at the Bar T ranch regarding his right to graze his sheep on open range land. The tension between cattlemen and sheepmen quickly emerges as an issue, with Larkin asserting his legal claim against Bissell's determined opposition. Bud's character is depicted as calm and resolute even in the face of hostility, setting the stage for ongoing conflicts. As Larkin seeks out support in his endeavor, he unexpectedly reunites with Juliet Bissell, the daughter of Beef Bissell, bringing emotional complexity to the external struggles he faces. The opening not only establishes the main conflict but introduces significant characters whose relationships will likely influence the unfolding of the plot.
