| Summary | "The Night Riders: A Romance of Early Montana" by Ridgwell Cullum is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of frontier life and human relationships against the backdrop of Montana's rugged landscape. The story's main character, John Tresler, is introduced as a recent graduate from Harvard who embarks on a journey to become a rancher, determined to learn the ropes in a rough-and-tumble environment filled with tension and power struggles. The opening of the novel establishes Tresler's arrival at Forks Settlement, a once-thriving but now fading community in Montana. Upon entering this prairie town, Tresler encounters a motley crew of local characters, each embodying the lawlessness and camaraderie of frontier life. He meets the shy yet observant Slum Ranks, who provides a glimpse of the town's dynamics, including tales of the powerful rancher Julian Marbolt and his ruthless foreman, Jake Harnach. As Tresler settles into his new surroundings, the tensions of the settlement and the dangers posed by the Night Riders—a group connected to the lawlessness of the region—begin to weave a narrative that promises conflict, personal growth, and potentially a romantic subplot involving the enigmatic Diane Marbolt.
