"The Brand: A Tale of the Flathead Reservation" by Therese Broderick is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Bess Fletcher, a young woman who travels to the Flathead Reservation with her brother, James.

The novel explores themes of adventure, cultural exchange, and the challenging dynamics of life on the frontier. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Bess and her brother aboard a westbound train, where Bess is captivated by the wild and beautiful landscapes they are traveling through. As they approach the Flathead Reservation, Bess's excitement grows, fueled by her brother's tales of cowboy life. Upon arrival, they meet key characters like the amiable stranger Dave Davis and Henry West, who helps guide them into their new lives. The opening chapters set the stage for Bess's journey of self-discovery and exploration as she navigates her way through the complexities of her new surroundings and the relationships she will form in this unfamiliar land.
