Summary "Frances of the Ranges; Or, The Old Ranchman's Treasure" by Amy Bell Marlowe is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Frances Rugley, a brave and resourceful young girl who lives on a sprawling ranch in the Texas Panhandle. Throughout the narrative, Frances embarks on adventurous escapades, including a dramatic encounter with a mountain lion and the complexities of ranch life, all while navigating her relationship with her father, a former Texas Ranger. At the start of the novel, Frances rides out on her trusty pinto, Molly, only to hear the terrifying snarl of a mountain lion. When she discovers a young man under attack from the lion, she rushes to his aid, showcasing her bravery and sharp shooting skills. The opening chapters delve into the development of Frances's character as she balances her responsibilities on the ranch with her aspirations and desires for a more cultured life. There is an air of mystery surrounding her father's treasure chest, which is tied to her family's history and the old partnerships he formed as a Ranger, setting the stage for future tensions and revelations in the story.
