| Summary |
"The Broncho Rider Boys with the Texas Rangers" by Frank Fowler is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This story follows a trio of young cowboys—Adrian Sherwood, William "Broncho Billie" Winkle, and Donald Mackay—who embark on an exciting journey through Texas, facing challenges related to horse thievery and encounters with the Texas Rangers. As they navigate the perils of the borderlands, they become embroiled in a plot against the Mexican government, which adds urgency and danger to their adventure. At the start of the narrative, we find the boys engaged in a light-hearted activity by the Rio Grande, showcasing their camaraderie and skill with firearms. This initial playfulness is quickly interrupted when they realize one of their pack mules has gone missing. As they search for the mule, they come across a remote Mexican hacienda and a set of suspicious horsemen who appear to be driving off stolen livestock. A chase ensues, leading them to an encounter with Captain June Peak, a Texas Ranger, which introduces the book's themes of law enforcement and vigilante justice. The opening sets the stage for an adventure filled with high stakes, camaraderie, and the boys' determination to protect their friend and thwart villainous plans.
